We currently implement an ACL on our 3750 switches (ipbase) which can block 
router advertisements and we find this to be very effective.  We haven't done 
anything for DHCPv6 however few clients support this.

Unfortunately we have yet to deal with clients on the wireless side.  There's 
no IPv6 support coming for the WiSMs/WLCs till Q1 2011 as far as I know (but 
have not heard anything definitive).  One solution to drop RAs would be to 
disable peer to peer communication however this may break other applications 
such as voip and video (not ideal when you have lots of students rocking up on 
campus who try to make FaceTime calls!).

Phil - you are correct by stating that IPv6 disables VLAN steering which is the 
same reason that our wireless (and load balancing) services are the only things 
that don't currently talk native IPv6.  We're waiting on the same thing - Cisco 
to ship something IPv6 native.
