FWIW, I see no IPv6 options on my WRT610N HW Version 2. I thought maybe
there was a new firmware version which added IPv6 capability, but I'm
still running the latest. There's no IPv6 options on any menu,
including 6to4 options that I can see. May be available under DD-WRT or
something similar, although last time I looked this model only had alpha
stage support for DD-WRT.
