lwIP's ipv6 is called "very experimental" but I'm not sure it's even 
advanced enough to be called that.

Usually with IPv6, there should be an entirely separate struct sockaddr_in6 
structure. None of that stuff exists. What source files there are don't 
even particularly attempt to deal with IPv6 at all. I wouldn't try to use 
IPv6 with lwIP.
