Issue Summary
I a planning to use this module for a customer that has IPv6 enabled. The current module does not support IPv6 addresses / subnets to be used. It should not be too hard to add that (probably just adapting the input validation to accept IPv6 addresses as well).

I've added a patch for ip_login-7.x-2.0-beta1
It's not thoroughly tested, but it works for full IPv6 addresses and subnets when using an address ending on :*

Thanks Foxey.
I'll be revisiting IP Login again in a week or so to add a feature I need (a stand-alone 'Auto log in' block) and want to get the initial work for IPv6 in too... More soon.
#3
Postponing for a couple of weeks until full 2.x releases are out...
Per #1288728: Restrict by IP-address and others, the addition of IPv6 and subnet matching is a good idea - more soon.

Ah nice, I'm be interested in helping out / testing this feature.
It's too bad that IP-addresses aren't available as data type in MySQL (unlike PostgreSQL's inet http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/datatype-net-types.html)
