I can second that, with a slightly different configuration. In my case I
have set Monowall to use IPv6 tunnel mode, specified the AAISP IPv4 tunnel
end point on Monowall, and my allocated IPv4 address specified from the
AAISP end. I have to run a tunnel since ADSL/Modem combination don;t seem
to be IPv6 capable.

I did find that configuring a /64 subnet on the LAN interface allowed the
router advertising feature to work. Using a /48 subnet on the LAN
interface provoked Monowall to complain that it could not advertise the
prefix because it was too long (might not have details right - I was in a
hurry). Configring /48 facing AAISP and /64 facing in to my LAN works
fine.
