Hello,

I am using IPv6 over IPv4 at home without any problem.
I had to recompile my kernel to enable IPv6 support and add the protocol 
to /etc/rc.conf:

PROTOCOLS="1 2 10"

There is a good guide in the gentoo.org documentation about IPv6 [1]. It
explains how to set up an IPv6 router but its beginning can also be used 
for a workstation (kernel, iproute2, applications, etc.)

I am using btexact [2] as a tunnel broker because it provides a simple 
script to configure the tunnel.
