One of the requirements is 6rd. This is not supported out of the box by
FreeBSD. It is handled by the patched "stf" driver you can get from
ports/packages: net/stf-6rd-kmod

It has not made it into the kernel yet. As I understand it is
incomplete. I need it for IPv6 from my ISP, but you can also use a GRE
tunnel to get functional IPv6 from a provider who uses 6rd. The caveat
is that you can't communicate with others on your same subnet, but
that's not something a consumer is probably trying to do. They're trying
to get to the greater internet, not connect to a device on their
neighbor's IPv6 network.
