My testing on OS X Mavericks shows that an Airport5,117 with firmware =
7.6.4 creates the guest wireless network:
1. With an IPv4 address from an automatically assigned RFC1918 LAN =
connected through NAT to WAN.
2. With NO IPv6 addressing of any kind.
My conclusion is that Apple does not yet support IPv6 in any fashion for =
Wireless Guest networks.
