FWIW - The (Cisco) Linksys 610N does (and perhaps others do?) the same
amount of IPv6 the Airport Extreme does - 6to4, SLAAC - out of the
box, by default.  In fact, I am not sure you can turn it off ..

Yep -- which is worse than useless in the presence of a service
provider that's already offering dual-stack service.


I might agree, if my provider offered native IPv6.  
They don't, so this minimal level of IPv6 is much better than nothing.


(glares at Cisco/Linksys)


Don't restrict yourself to just Cisco/Linksys - glare at all of the vendors,
and the providers for that matter. :)
And don't just glare, poke them insistently / incessantly!
