When I was in the US, I ran IPv6 on my home network. The ASDL modem was
only IPv4 capable, so I had a LinkSys wifi router running OpenWRT to
provide the IPv6 connectivity, tunnelling over the IPv4 modem link.
Would have been nice if the modem (or ISP for that matter) could have
done IPv6 directly instead of requiring a tunnelled setup :-(
