You obviously need ipv6 connectivity to reach ipv6.google.com, just as you would need ipv4 connectivity to reach www.google.com. a test could be: ping -c2 -w2 www.google.com and ping6 -c2 -w2 ipv6.google.com. if the first fails, you have no ipv4 link and if the second fails you have no ipv6 link. if both fail you have no ip link at all, or your name resolving isn't working right. With "requirements for the host computer" you mean the freerunner right? the freerunner is capable of doing ipv6 in om2008.12 for sure. i guess the other distro's are likely to be able to do ipv6 too, since it is in the kernel for a *long* time now. The router does not have to be able to do ipv6, you need at least a host that can setup a ipv6 tunnel with a tunnel broker. I think most linux distro's will be able to do so, so a linux host acting as a ipv6 router would suffice. But that is all a bit to far away from the goal of the review, if people think "huh, ipv6? what's that?" then just skip the test. kind of like "if you don;t know what it is, you don;t have it."
