You're correct, out of the box there aren't many. The first couple that come to mind are the Apple Airport Express and Airport Extreme, but I don't believe Linksys/Netgear/etc. have support out of the box.The Apple products do 6to4 out of the box, but don't support v6 natively.What do you mean they don't support v6 native? I am running my Time Capsule in v6 native.
Okay, let me rephrase that. I can't run a PPPoE client on an Airport Express which will give me native dual-stack Internet access. Yes, I can talk to the Airport Express with v6, no debate there. And yes, if it sees an RA message it'll configure itself with the appropriate prefix EUI64 itself an address. But unless there's some configuration knob I haven't found, off-LAN v6 access requires either some other v6-capable CPE to act as the interface to the service provider, or it runs over 6to4.
True none of the apple products support DHCPv6. I think there is some hope Apple will come around on this issue.
Currently the Snow Leopard kernel panics if you turn on the net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv sysctl and start a PPPoE session which negotiates IP6CP. (I have a bug open with them, and I'm confident that it'll be fixed... but c'mon...!) - mark -- Mark Newton Email: newton () internode com au (W) Network Engineer Email: newton () atdot dotat org (H) Internode Pty Ltd Desk: +61-8-82282999 "Network Man" - Anagram of "Mark Newton" Mobile: +61-416-202-223
