It uses a mechanism knows as SLAAC to come up with, at least on Ethernet, theoretically unique address. fec0::/10 - Site local, like 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, etc... fc00::/8 - Unique Local, allocation still up in the air last I knew. But these are like a real network address but not routeable (?). fd00:/8 - Another kind of Unique Local, even more mysterious than fc00::/8. But you can get one from SixXS who seem to have appointed themselves as a registrar. This is what we use internally (one of these) for now.
I.e., it is too difficult to plan and thus to set up in a small to medium company environment. This is still a technology for big companies or trivial SOHO deployments. That's one more reasons why IPv6 has less take up in Europe and the US, where the IPv4 shortage is not felt.
