I'm not sure that I see the usage of 6to4/tunnel to use IPv6 over UMTS. 
Connecting the mobile devices to fixed nodes might be different if we finally 
get IPv6 DSL.

Do you have any information about AHCP and prefix delegation ? I think it's 
still a TODO. The problem is prefix delegation has something to do with the 
gateway selection, so it cannot be done without the routing protocol.

How long does you phones battery run with WLAN in adhoc mode without OLSR ?
