I checked the documentation for two models (Linux model and highest-end =
non-Linux model), and there's no mention of IPv6.

because for low-end CPE devices like this, a tiny change in the model
number (e.g. v1->v2) might mean a completely different internal system,
with different host CPU, different ethernet controller, etc. You're not =
in
any way guaranteed the same sort of software compatibility when moving =
from
one device version to another, particularly for less well supported
features like ipv6.
