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

useopenid - All x-86 based ReadyNAS units running 4.2.16 or later support IPv6 as that was when it was added to RAIDiator. (I am running 4.2.17, but have the IPv6 assignment currently in the off position)
I fully understand the advantage of IPv6 in the WAN environment, but for the LAN in a home environment? I doubt many home networks will run out of addresses in the 192.168.1 or 192.168.0 subnets. We may have to replace old routers, but that is a far easier task than replacing all the printers and other non-compliant devices.
That may put the final nail in Windows XP as well, as I don't believe Windows XP supports IPv6.
