IPv6 over KPN Mobile UMTS

I plugged in a (borrowed) KPN Mobile UMTS PCMCIA card (Huawei E620) into my Ubuntu system. I had to click on "Netherlands" then "KPN Mobile" then activate, and I was online with UMTS. And ... hello again ... PPP! Long time no see! ;-)

UMTS was one of the technogolies that promised to give the world IPv6. Just like IMS and others. Well ... NOT: plain IPv4.

Luckily enough IPv6 is easy to activate with miredo / teredo. One command and IPv6 was running. See below. Cool. I can now access my machines at home (SABnzbd for example), and Tiberius' music sollection, all over IPv6.
