Re: IPv6 support by wifi systems

Access point support from many vendors seems okay. But another vendor gap
on IPv6 is WiFi AAA, policy servers, and tunnel servers from vendors like
Ericsson and ALU. I hope to see richer IPv6 support for these aspects of
WiFi (helpful for those operating lots of outdoor WiFi systems for
example).

Like so many things IPv6, many of the wifi vendors seem to lack decent
support for IPv6 clients.  I'm not sure why I thought the situation was
better than it seems to be, I guess I'm just an optimist.

Anyway, what wifi vendors provide the best support for IPv6?  I don't
really care too much about management, but to deploy wifi in a service
provider environment with IPv6, it would seem that you'd want at least:

RA Guard
DHCPv6 Shield (unless you just do SLAAC, I guess)
IPv6 Source Address Guard

Am I missing anything critical?
