Okay, let me rephrase that.
I can't run a PPPoE client on an Airport Express which will
give me native dual-stack Internet access.
Yes, I can talk to the Airport Express with v6, no debate there.
And yes, if it sees an RA message it'll configure itself with the=20
appropriate prefix EUI64 itself an address.
But unless there's some configuration knob I haven't found, off-LAN
v6 access requires either some other v6-capable CPE to act as the
interface to the service provider, or it runs over 6to4.

Currently the Snow Leopard kernel panics if you turn on the=20
net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv sysctl and start a PPPoE session which
negotiates IP6CP.
(I have a bug open with them, and I'm confident that it'll be fixed...
but c'mon...!)
