They wanted to make it possible for more folks to be able to play with IPv6. They came up with a neat hack that uses aLinksys WRT54G, that turns it into an IPv6 appliance/router. More details can be found at: < http://www.research.earthlink.net/ipv6/>.This has been around for several months now, that I know of Its a tunneled v6 connection for your IP, that locks you into elnk .. you cant use the v6 part of it if you switch providers, I think Plenty of third party firmwares around since quite some time, that provide a v6 stack for the wrt54g .. and let you get a tunnel from tunnelbroker, sixxs.net etc. suresh

I'm sure that Dave and I would like to post such information as part of a follow up.Hit send too soon You have at least Openwrt and Sveasoft that I'm aware of .. Sveasoft has a few controversies re its open source licensing - pleasegoogle for them and determine these for yourself. I dont use sveasoft sohaven't been tracking the license wars surrounding it. OpenWRT is available at http://openwrt.org/<http://www.757.org/~joat/wiki/index.php/ IPv6_on_the_WRT54G_via_OpenWRT>This url should help you get started - needs some fairly simple commandline configuration, though. And of course caveat emptor because you'rebasically voiding any chance of cisco / linksys support for your wrt54gif you install third party firmware on it.
