I'm using IPv6 all over my LAN, and SSH works just fine.

First, do not use prefix length indicators in IPv6 addresses, as they
are only needed when routing decisions must be taken, i.e. "ssh -6
fe80::1".

Second, please attach an "ifconfig -a" from both the server and
workstation.

Third, run "netstat -an --inet6|grep LISTEN" on the machine where the
SSH service is running. You should see something similar to this:

tcp  0   0 :::22         :::*           LISTEN
