How To Enable IPv6 in Bridge Mode ?

We recently got 2 RT-AC66U to link an office in the opposite building to our company network. They work in AP/Bridge mode and the link is running stable and perfect, using IPv4 addresses.

However, we also use IPv6 in our network. While I saw IPv6 in the RT-AC66U in router mode, it seems to be disabled in access point mode:

Code:

admin@RT-AC66U:/sys/module/ipv6# ifconfig
br0        Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:60:6E:BD:E7:D0 
          inet addr:10.20.4.16  Bcast:10.20.4.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:218960 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:27274 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:48543931 (46.2 MiB)  TX bytes:12928599 (12.3 MiB)

When I try to add an IPv6 address to an interface, it denies:
Code:

# ip -6 addr add 2001:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::16/64 dev eth0
RTNETLINK answers: Permission denied

and:
Code:

# modprobe ipv6
modprobe: module ipv6 not found in modules.dep

Any chance to enable ipv6?
