Introduction
There are too many devices in the world for 32-bit (232, or 4,294,967,296) IP addresses to be sufficient. The next version of the TCP/IP protocol, IPv6 offers 128-bit address space, or 2128 (≈ 3.4 x 1038) IP addresses.
IPv6 is supported from DD-WRTv22 prefinal5.
Setup
Prerequisits
-Knowledge about The DD-WRT Command Line
-Knowledge about the ip command
Instructions
The sconk.se guide offers some pretty nice instructions on how enable this feature starting out with obtaining an IPv6 address.
If you want to use Hurricane Electric's IPv6 Tunnel broker you can check out the guide below. It has detailed instructions and is upto date. Sixx.net takes alot of work and requires you to sign up to alot more stuff then Hurricane Electric.
This wiki also offers an example IPv6 startup script
