Ok, so... with a little messing around with the raspberry-pi + tp-link +
wide-dhcpv6 client.. success!

I'm curious, do you know of a consumer-grade router which supports
DHCPv6-PD? I have been making plans to put OpenWRT on my home router to
get
IPv6 and have found v6 support quite lacking.  Most of the routers seem
to
like to focus on various transition technologies like 6to4 tunnels.  I
would love to go to NewEgg and get a home router for $50 (or even $100)
that is ready to go.

What's more surprising is even Cisco and Juniper have been lagging.  The
SRX only got DHCPv6-PD support in the last 6 months or so and I don't
think
the ASA has it yet.  However, ISR routers like the 88x and 86x support
it.

So what it's worth, I'm on Comcast Business, using an ASUS RT-N66U router
and a Motorola SB6141 modem.  IPv6 Just Works on my network.  I don't
remember having to do anything strange to the router to make it work, and
I'm certainly still running the default firmware.
