There is no ISATAP support in Linux (neither official or USAGI), at the
moment, AFAIK.

Miredo[1] has some basic ISATAP support, but while it works fine as an
ISATAP router, ISATAP client mode is kind of proof-of-concept-ish.

I think the original reason for not having ISATAP was some IPR claim on
the protocol. Yet, according IETF IPR database[2], that claim[3] looks
GPL-compatible to me: "No License Required for Implementers". As such, I
guess it's more a matter of someone actually writing the missing code
and pushing it into USAGI (kernel) and iproute2 (userland).
