No, it's not going to help. v6 over current wireless doesn't work for the reasons that multicast is a gaping hole.
Why is IPv6 multicast any different than IPv4 broadcast (required for ARP and many other things)? If you run without MLD snooping IPv6 multicast is implemented as broadcast at the layer 2 level, so it should behave exactly the same. You also have the option of using something like 6RD so you avoid IPv6 in your backbone entirely. Or use MPLS for the same effect. Regards, Baldur
