Apparently someone has found a break in these protocols for wireless. Link

IPv6 – What’s Next?
Installing IPv6 is easy on the front side. How? Pretty much all you have to do is right click on your network and select properties. Then you right click on your adapter and select properties. You should see IPv6 (Internet protocol in the windows provided). If you don’t, click on install and check IPv6. Close out this windows and now IPv6 is installed. (Windows 7, Linux and other operating systems come with IPv6) – Purchase equipment that is IPv6 complient. Look for firmware updates that support IPv6 on devices such as PLCs, printers, Wireless Access Points, etc.
Note: Some operating systems may have to be upgraded with the latest service packs or network card drivers may need to be updated. ~ Virtual network devices such as Virtualbox network cards may need to be disabled, an ipconfig /release | ipconfig /renew ran on the host machine and then the Virtualbox network adapter reenabled to see your IPv6 address. This may apply to devices using any type of virutalization or virtual driver.
Now if you open a command prompt, and type ipconfig, you will see this – 
| ::/96 The zero prefix denotes addresses that are compatible with the previously used IPv4 protocol. |
| ::/128 An IPv6 address with all zeroes in it is referred to as an unspecified address and is used for addressing purposes within a software. |
| ::1/128 This is called the loop back address and is used to refer to the local host. An application sending a packet to this address will get the packet back after it is looped back by the IPv6 stack. The local host address in the IPv4 was 127.0.0.1. |
| 2001:db8::/32 This is a documentation prefix allowed in the IPv6. |
| fec0::/10 This is a site-local prefix offered by IPv6. This address prefix signifies that the address is valid only within the local organization. Subsequently, the usage of this prefix has been discouraged by the RFC. |
| fc00::/7 This is called the Unique Local Address (ULA). These addresses are routed only within a set of cooperating sites. These were introduced in the IPv6 to replace the site-local addresses. These addresses also provide a 40-bit pseudorandom number that reduces the risk of address conflicts. |
| ff00::/8 This prefix is offered by IPv6 to denote the multicast addresses. Any address carrying this prefix is automatically understood to be a multicast address. |
| fe80::/10 This is a link-local prefix offered by IPv6. This address prefix signifies that the address is valid only in the local physical link. |
A Laptop for $35
There are several YouTube videos along with news sources that have a revealed a touch screen computer that will be around $35. Sources
Ultimately they plan on releasing it for higher education at $10 per laptop
