IPv6 does work in Plan 9; until I moved, I was running a small home
network of Plan 9 systems, a couple of Macs and an OpenBSD firewall
that all spoke IPv4 and IPv6 (except ken's file server; I don't think
ILv6 was ever defined).  I had a tunnel to one of the free IPv6 tunnel
brokers (it moved as I found out which ones couldn't sustain a
tunnel).

Having said that, we need a few more user-mode daemons to make IPv6
run smoothly.  There are ipconfig6 and ping6 programs that aren't yet
on sources.  ndb/cs knows how to place IPv6 calls and ndb/dns
understands IPv6 addresses, so it's possible to configure the whole
thing by hand, given ipconfig6.  We don't have fancy route
advertisement daemons and the like yet.
