If you are running an OpenSolaris build less than about a year old it
should be quite easy to get IPv6 to work.
To start IPv6 manually you do (assuming your wireless driver is wpi0)
ifconfig wpi0 inet6 plumb
dladm connect-wifi -e ietf-v6ONLY
ifconfig wpi0 inet6 up
That will trigger neighbor discovery, which will then trigger dhcpagent
to go ask for the dns server addresses.
The thing missing is an automatic way to get the nameservers from the
dhcp client into /etc/resolv.conf.
That can be done manually with
/sbin/dhcpinfo -i wpi0 -v 6 dnsaddresses
and then put that into /etc/resolv.conf
Note that there are some Ethernet multicast problems with the Atheros
WiFi driver which makes it hard to get any consistent behavior with that
driver.
