It's not at all user friendly, and definitely not consumer ready, but once it's working it's pretty much rock solid. All up I'd say I probably spent less time getting IPv6 working on DD-WRT than on my Cisco 877W (Hint: IOS 12.x doesn't support IPv6 on the bridge interface, the IOS 15.x Advanced Security feature set doesn't support IPv6 at all, and the flash requirements listed for 15.1 Advanced IP are wrong. Go Cisco!) Keep in mind that not all WRT54G's support DD-WRT. Linksys moved from Linux to Vxworks but kept the model number the same (the version did change). The WRT54GL along with various other devices do support it - details are on the DD-WRT website.
OpenWRT will run IPv6 fine; Comcast posted patches some months back to enable some 6rd configuration mods needed for Comcast's IPv6 trial. From the Comcast beta forum, it's clear that some people have succeeded at merging those 6rd patches into OpenWRT, though there may be some rough edges.
I haven't had time to take them for a spin. - Jim
