It seems to not work.
Regarding to your advices, I put those lines:
emulate sh -o kshglob -c 'source /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion' 2>/dev/null
emulate sh -o kshglob -c 'source /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ping6'

But when I try to complete from ping6 I have an error “command not
found: _init_completion”
