Enable IPv6 on your Raspberry PI
All devices should have an IP address. To enable IPv6 support on your Raspbian, do the following.
Add the line ipv6 to the file /etc/modules. This will make sure that IPv6 support is loaded into the kernel at the next boot.
Then open the file /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf and add an dhcp6.domain-search, dhcp6.fqdn, dhcp6.name-servers, dhcp6.sntp-servers; as options to the request line. And just for good measure, post your hostname as the fully qualified domain by adding the line send fqdn.fqdn = gethostname(); just after send host-name = gethostname();.
Reboot, and you should have IPv6 DHCP running.
Verify with ifconfig or if you have a browser use test-ipv6.com. I have included the files I currently use for reference below.
/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf:
option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of unsigned integer 8;
send host-name = gethostname();
send fqdn.fqdn = gethostname();
#send dhcp-client-identifier 1:0:a0:24:ab:fb:9c;
#send dhcp-lease-time 3600;
#supersede domain-name "fugue.com home.vix.com";
#prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;

ipv6
After enabling all this, I decided to register the IPv6 address to the hostname besje.net, but later found out that none of my mobile devices support IPv6 yet. This means the only way I can test it is with my local home network.
Update: I first thought it would work by adding an iface eth0 inet6 dhcp line to /etc/network/interfaces. But that gave my global IPv6 configuration as link scope some times, meaning that the connection would drop out at the point the ipv4 dhcp came along.
