Sorry, you're right.  I should have mentioned it.  (As far as I understand,
support for the C10k is "in the works", though.  No idea about ASR).

I run a Linksys WRT54GL with OpenWRT and an external ADSL2+ modem
(bridging PPPoE to the WRT).  Not a solution that's really suitable for
large scale customer rollout - but it works *very* well... :)

And yes, it would be nice if the Linksys products would get IPv6 support
in their "as shipped" firmware.  It's not that hard, there's Linux inside
(oh wait, they moved to $somethingelse, for some weird internal reason...).
