Does it work /with/ IPv6?  Certainly.  You can send IPv6 packets past
it on a network, and it will happily ignore them.

Does it include an IPv6 implementation?  No.  At present, there are at
least three different IPv6 implementations, and at least one IPv6
stack that also includes IPSEC for v4.  Because the situation is in so
much flux at the moment, and I'm not at all happy with the stability
or the substance of the code that /I've/ looked at, I do not plan on
including IPv6 in the near future.  Sometime later on this year, I
will be re-evaluating the situation, and hopefully will have more to
say on the subject at that time.
