You can, the actual integration issue is that network mangler (on ubuntu/fedora etal) and the osX airport connection manager will give up on a subnet on which they can't obtain an ipv4 address in prefernce to one where they can... this can also be worked around but it makes v6-only operation (Assuming that were desired, or even a good idea at this point) something that the majority of the users wouldn't be able to achive without the default behavior changing.
