IPv6
I don't expect much here. Just please include the precompiled ipv6.o in the modules directory for the next RAIDiator release. :D

If the home network would have to support it, then there is going to be a boatload of networked equipment that will no longer work. Not just older ReadyNAS units, but PCs, modems, printers etc. I can hear the screams of anguish now.
The gateway would typically be provided by the ISP and if it supports IPv4 on the backend then all is fine, but a) users may want to take advantage of IPv6 in which case all equipment needs to support it and/or b) I believe I've seen reports of at least one ISP (Possibly Belgian, but not 100% sure) where the gateway is IPv6 only.
