Thank you.  Yes, I have discovered this works now with our router.  Note 
that I had to also do the following:

netif_create_ip6_linklocal_address(ifp,1);  //into addr 0
ifp->ip6_autoconfig_enabled = 1;  //LWIP sets this to zero yet checks

Any thoughts on how a domain name server that has an IPV6 address can be 
reached?  And how are domain names that only have IPV6 addresses resolved?

Thanks for the help.
