IPv6 on PPPoE DSL connection Ubuntu 10.04 LTS NM 0.8

[Phil Thompson <phil yarwell demon co uk>]

My ISP is trialling native IPv6 connectivity over ADSL. I have
successfully got my Speedtouch 546v6 modem/router into bridge mode so
that the PC is managing the PPPoE connection itself.

The ISP has given me IPv6 addresses to use.

I can connect OK to the ISP with the DSL tab of Network Manager but I
can only see IPv4 options on DSL, whereas with the wired auto eth0
conection there is an IPv6 tab although the dropdown is set to "ignore".

PPP provides the IPv4 address, DNS server and so on but I need to add
the IPv6 equivalents manually - how to do this please ?

As this is a trial I'm prepared to try a live CD of a different distro
if that would make it easier for some reason.

My wireless and wired interfaces do have IPv6 address :-
