tcpdump is not actually *doing* any IPv6. All it does is "read packets,
print their contents". Which is completely independent of the question
"will the operating system provide IPv6 support?".
It's not like tcpdump is trying to actually *use* IPv6.
(I can do tcpdump to look at "spanning tree" packets. Or Cisco CDP. Neither
is supported in my operating system...)
