I didn't think we would at all.  Having it software switched on a 3550 
probably means you can "do IPv6" in as much as just giving a v6 address to 
an SVI for management purposes, or for use in low bandwidth lab setups. 
IPv6 layer 3 ports for customers wanting to push much data isn't likely to 
work too well.
