it's worth noting that, that cpe works just fine for this purpose with the manufacturer supplied firmware. so the motivation for doing it this way lies elsewhere. If you approach this as consumer rather than futzing with it you'll probably have a different experience. At my appartment I have a mot sb6121 and a netgear wndr3700 and comcast v6 works without apparent effort.
3) hand installing several additional packages; 4) hand editing config files; 5) sysctl kernel flags; 6) several shout outs to friends and coworkers for assistance (resources many don't have access to); 7) oh, and probably hours and hours twiddling with it. just to get IPv6 to work correctly. Yea, that's TOTALLY reasonable. -erandy
