IPv6 has two ways to get an IPv6 address dynamically, stateless
autoconfiguration (provided by routing advertisements, on Linux either
quagga or radvd) and stateful autoconfiguration (DHCPv6). You mostly
want DHCPv6 in an IPv6 environment because stateless autoconfig will
only get you an address and a prefix, not things like DNS server,
domain name, etc.

These are both decent articles (by the author of Apress's Running
IPv6) that intro IPv6:
