Cisco Linksys Routers Still Don't Support IPv6

Julie188 writes "It's 2011, IPv4 addresses are officially exhausted, and the world's largest router maker, Cisco, still doesn't support IPv6 in its best-selling line of Linksys wireless routers. This is true even for the new E4200 router released just last month (priced at $180). The company has promised to add IPv6 to the E4200 by the spring. But it has not been specific about if and how it will offer an IPv6 upgrade to the millions of other Linksys routers currently running in homes and small businesses."

99.9% of those Linksys routers will have no need to run IPv6 in their effective lifetime. When did people develop this sense of entitlement that every little cheap-ass consumer product they buy ought to be future-proof?
