To revive this discussion.

I'm a little disappointed in Netcomm, just acquired one of their NB6Plus4s and popped the IPv6 firmware on it, and this firmware is all manner of broken... You can't enable IPv6 on PPPoA without hand-editing the config backup, and you can't change the admin usernames/passwords without the same, etc. It does however seem to indicate that there are other features available that are not yet implemented in the UI. It is definitely not ‘release ready’ or even ‘beta’ level quality, sadly.

The Draytek Vigor 120 actually uses an Infineon chipset (Infineon Amazon-SE).

Also FYI the AU download page lists multiple different firmware variants optimized for different ISAM/DSLAM vendors:

I looked into that too, however as I can't ascertain the chipset the DV120 is based on, I'm loathe to put it anywhere near the 'fussy' Infineon DSLAMs Orcon use. Currently I operate a Netcomm NB6 in half-bridge, but as you say, no IPv6 Support.

The main problem at the moment is a lack of a CPE that properly supports IPv6, my attempts to build custom firmware for BCM63xx modems has been largely thwarted for now by Dynalink/Netcomm's failure to provide proper board definitions in their GPL released source code (it boots, but doesn't identify the board properly) If anyone wants to donate their old ADSL2+ (preferably Broadcom based, working or bricked) modems to the cause, please email me offlist. The resulting firmwares will be made available to all.

 
I also stopped waiting for a CPE that works, and I wanted something easily/locally available, so I went instead for a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND running OpenWrt as the router and a Draytek Vigor 120 as a modem (it does PPPoA to PPPoE "transaltion")
 
Works like a charm IPv6 and all.
 
PS: I first tried a TD-8840 in half-bridge mode, but that doesn't do IPv6.
