Not all devices have working IPv6 stacks. OK, they’re broken, complain to the vendor and get them to fix their product or buy a working product from a different vendor. I don't know that this is a practical option... for say some systems I know that don't do v6 properly or at all, and

You can request a fully working IPv6 implementation, but it's not going to stop a purchasing if it doesn't. If you are deciding between two vendors and one is better/cheaper and doesn't have IPv6 and you choose the other, it's likely you will be looking for another job. There is no strong

I did an OK job of getting my Linksys E2100L working with Comcast v6 on OpenWRT. It is not officially supported on this platform per se, but a simple hack of the source for WRT160NL allows it to be built. Since I was already rolling my own firmware, I checked the box for 'ipv6' and got the
