You need the January 11 2008 firmware (or newer) to do IPv6.
6to4 works fine but there is a bug with NAT-PT at present.
If you Google for the device name and "IPv6" then you will
find some forum postings discussing IPv6 using these Linksys
boxes.
Note, that this is another example of a device which was
able to add IPv6 through software only, no hardware changes
required. I think that the majority of SOHO devices will
add IPv6 in this way. As soon as the manufacturers realise
that there is a demand for such products, they can very quickly
add IPv6 and ship it, faster than they can update and print=20
new manuals.
The list on <http://www.getipv6.info/index.php/Broadband_CPE> has been
updated.
