The ARRIS SB6190 is a DOCSIS 3.0 modem ad IPv6 is part of the
DOCSIS 3.0 specs. So it should *1) support IPv6.

I am not familiar with IPFire but as someone else poited out that
also should support it. You may have to upgrade to a more recent
version.
I see that your mailer is BinkIT running under Linux. Linux has
sopported IPv6 for decades and BinkIT also supports IPv6. So you probably
will not have to buy new equipment or make major software changes to
join the Fidonet IPv6 club.

PFsense supports IPv6.

OpenWRT supports IPv6. I have been running it for a couple of
years on a Linksys WRTsomething with a he.net tunnel.
*1) DISCLAIMER. It is my understanding that when using a privately
owned cable modem in the US, the firmware for the modem comes from the
provider not from the manufacture, so there may be some snakes in the
grass. Correct me if I am wrong.
Cheers, Michiel
