In 2.6 ip6tables doesn't see bridged IPv6 packets either. It should be easy
to
add, though.

Hiyas,
   Is there a patch for the 2.4.x series to do
ip6tables bridging of IPv6 packets?  I was unable to
go to 2.6 due to issues with large packets so still
living in 2.4 land.  If there are no patches, any
ideas on what gets patched in IPv4 to allow this
bridging?

Currently, I would need to focus on 2.4.x, a 2.6 shift
only if I have time later on.  In the
ebtables-brnf-5_vs_2.4.25.diff patch, I do see a
section in br_nf_ptr_routing, ipv4_sabotage_out which
use a variable brnf_call_iptables, but I am not
familiar enough with the code know which sections
would need replicating for IPv6.
Has anyone started any work on IPv6 packet passing to
iptables?
