[AusNOG] IPV6 ether/wireless bridge?

[Peter Tiggerdine]

I know is sounds completely out of left field, but what about an apple
airport express? They do IPv6 and bridged ethernet however I suspect
you want to set it in NAT mode so she can connect Ipad, iphone and
laptop to it?

Regards,

Peter Tiggerdine.
