The way that it will (hopefully) work would be: your router's firmware 
will be automatically updated to handle IPv6 (if possible), and that 
your computer will automatically get an IPv6 address through Router 
Advertisement. You shouldn't need to do much to set it up, once your ISP 
tells you that it's ready.

The wiki has a decent guide on setting up (despite tunneled) IPv6 access 
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6>. It's not too difficult in my opinion for 
an end-user to setup IPv6, though it is different/confusing the first 
time. I am sure people here would help you once you've got it ready from 
your ISP, if you get stuck!
