Comcast's IPv6 CPE selection

[Frank Bulk]

And note the "[5]" behind IPv6 feature that says "Apparently, IPv6-related
features DO NOT work by default in DD-WRT v24. See IPv6 on v24.", and
clicking throught "IPv6 on v24" I see all kinds of "insmod" commands.  Seems
a little rough around the edges to me. =)

Two problems here, the first is that when you talk about "DD-WRT" you're
really talking about many different firmwares, packages, combinations of
modules, etc. (For better or worse) there is no One True DD-WRT. The
other problem is that what you wrote isn't quite accurate. :)  I'm
happily using IPv6 on my Linksys 160N:

As you can see from this chart IPv6 support is included in all but the
tiniest versions of DD-WRT:

Admittedly it was not as easy to set up as just clicking a few buttons,
but now that it's done it "just works." The computers on my home network
see the RAs and configure themselves as they should. As far as they are
concerned it's native IPv6 just as $DEITY intended.  :)
