  It works.

  Nothing.

  Please read the configuration files that are shipped with the server
for examples of how to configure IPv6.  If you look at the "development
roadmap" page on the Wiki, you'll see it was last edited April 2007.
i.e. 8 months before 2.0 was released.

  If you read doc/ChangeLog that ships with the server, you will see
"full support for IPv6".

  It doesn't exist.

  The server ships with a file called "doc/ChangeLog".  It contains a
full list of changes.

  If you read the main freeradius.org page, it lists the changes for the
most recent version.  If you click on the "2.1.1" release on the right
hand side of the page, it brings you to an HTML page that lists all of
the changes for all versions released this year.  The page also contains
links to older releases, going back to 2005.

  If you just "cd raddb", and then "grep -i ipv6 *", you will see a lot
of references to IPv6 in the clients && proxy configuration files.
