Android 4.0 does not believe it has network if it has only IPv6.
(This is sadly, not fixed in 4.4; there are some structural hassles to
testing it for many, thus hard to know if you succeded)
Android 4.0 certainly does work DualStack.
This is a result of not accepting DNS servers via RDNSS (nor DHCPv6), and
believing that it can not operate without DNS (which is probably logical).
