Not related to the original subject, neither to IPv6 usability on WLANs,
just a small comment: As far as I understand "AP isolation" doesn't work
if you don't have a WLAN controller but do have more than one APs. E.g. in
the following setup
ap1--sw1--sw2--ap2
with "AP isolation" turned on, clients associated to ap1 cannot
communicate directly with other clients associated to ap1, however they
can communicate directly with those associated to ap2. Broadcast from
ap1's clients does also get to all clients at ap2.
