I'm not sure if any do ADSL + Wifi all in one, but if you're ok wtih
separate boxes, get a wifi router which can be reflash to run OpenWRT

   http://openwrt.org/

I have the LinkSys  classic WRT 54GL, but there're many options

I know a friend who's very happy with the Bufflo models which are able
to run OpenWRT.

There's a guide to IPV6 on OpenWRT hre

  http://wiki.openwrt.org/IPv6_howto

I'm using it between my home, and servers at bytemark.co.uk and at 
linode.com
