Actually, using that filter only makes sense if you know very little about
ipv6. IPv6 has its own Ethertype for a reason and the use of the ip.version
field was a wrong path followed just in the beginning of ipv6. IPv6 is a
different protocol than IPv4. Nobody would expect to check for ipx or appletalk
at the beginning of an IPv4 packet, don't do this for IPv6 either.
