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?
