Just downgrade to the previous version, which had IPv6 fully enabled. Or wait and see if Apple releases an update in the next couple of days. This has been discussed many times on here.

There are 2 "current" versions of Airport Utility. 5.6 is the latest iteration of the mature product and 6.0 is the work-in-progress early release of the massively overhauled future codeline. You can have either or both installed depending on your needs.

Yes i know. I was speaking about Apple in Airport 6 forgetting about IPv6 and have to cover their mistake with the previous version to do IPv6!

I do not agree with your interpretation. There's no "covering the mistake with the previous version" because both 5.x and 6.x are "current" code lines today. 5.6 and 6.0 were released on the same day. While 6.0 has been released I consider it to still be a work in progress, made public because what's there is stable and complete enough to serve the majority of users while eliciting feedback that will help Apple finish the transition. I don't believe they "forgot" IPv6, but that it wasn't high priority enough to delay the initial release.
