I'm using the exact same router, though I have DD-WRT installed on it, which
does have the IPv6 support, just no firewall for it. That's not too bothersome,
since I eventually want the functionality of ip6tables anyways, but yeah, you
definitely went an easier route -- and I may just go that route if I'm too lazy
to configure ip6tables.

Definitely my favorite router. I could have chosen a fancy new wireless-N
router, but bleh.. the WRT54GL is just so stable that I'll have to wait until
it doesn't work anymore.

 MV> I wrote a couple of fidonews articles about it.

A very good read, I might add. :)

Regards,
Nick
