Many other router manufactures do so, e.g. AVM has already released IPv6 firmwares for older router models in 2009!
The only reason is, they want us to pay again for a new router to get IPv6 support. I bought my DIR-655 november 2010, I won't buy another DLINK router the next 3-5 years for sure. If the internet is completely switched to IPv6 in the next few years, and a big company like DLINK will let me alone without support, with no access to the internet with a router from 11/2010, then DLINK is just a poor company with no products worth to pay for.

You forgot about more internal memory (look at rev b) and even the required size for the router firmware (which in both cases does not suffice for IPv6 to be added to rev A). Kind of critical, wouldn't you say. But if you want to believe in conspiracies...be my guest.

DD-WRT it is not support ubicom CPU? So no DD-WRT for DIR-655 B1 ?

Just bought a DIR-655 F/W Ver 2.00NA and H/W Ver B1.
Enclosed in the box was a "D-Link GPL Code Statement" and "Written offer for GPL and LGPL Source Code" stating loosely that "... D-Link will provide upon written request ... the source code files via CD-ROM for a nominal cost to cover shipping ... ".
Sooo, it seems like all we have to do is ask and the secrets shall be revealed ...
Has anyone asked?
