going-nicely-ietf-offtopic:

google(WRT cheap EUR) returned me with:

http://www.dd-wrt.com/shop/catalog/product_reviews_info.php?products_id=28&reviews_id=21

Which is a "Buffalo WHR-G54S" for 49.99EUR. When buying them there you
get them preloaded with DD-WRT which does IPv6 (and even aiccu :) out of
the box.

Instead of there you can of course buy a lot of variants of the WRT type
of 'routers' in your local shop and make them into real routers by
upgrading them to OpenWRT/DD-WRT and a number of variants.
WRT's are accidentally also the cheapest managed router/switch/wifibox
as you can install SNMPd, SSH/telnet/webif etc etc ;)

Problemo solved and yes IMHO those are really nice boxes to have. There
are also a few of those boxes which can do DSL for you btw, all depends
on the config they come with.

Of course there are also a number of vendors who ship with IPv6 support
as a standard feature.

Greets,

Oh and to 'prove' that they do IPv6:
 7  sheol.unfix.org (2001:7b8:20d:0:20f:66ff:fec8:5fd4)  16.9 ms  14.006
ms  14.308 ms

 7  gehenna.unfix.org (2001:7b8:20d:0:214:bfff:fe72:f83c)  18.911 ms
13.978 ms  15.3 ms

Yep, both still work fine and I haven't touched those for quite some
time now ;)
