More IPv6 stuff in ns-3 is planned after IPv4 refactoring will be merged 
(ns-3.4 or ns-3.5).
For a complete ns-3 "IPv6 enabled" but with an obsolete version of ns-3 
(3 month ago version) see https://svnet.u-strasbg.fr/hg/ns-3-ipv6/.

I have also started IPv6 integration in Tom Henderson's "IPv4 
refactoring" repository (http://code.nsnam.org/tomh/ns-3-ip/) but for 
the moment I have absolutely no time to polish it and made it public on 
code.nsnam.org.

I think IPv6 support in ns-3 (ICMPv6, neighbor discovery, routing, UDP 
and some applications) could be ready for ns-3.5.
