Funny. My IPv6 config works like a charm, on both 7.2-STABLE and
8.0-STABLE. Related config settings look like this:
gif_interfaces=3D"gif0"
gifconfig_gif0=3D"81.187.76.162 81.187.81.6"
ipv6_ifconfig_gif0=3D"2001:08b0:0151:0001::1/64"
ipv6_prefix_de0=3D"2001:08b0:0151:0001"
ipv6_enable=3D"YES"
ipv6_defaultrouter=3D"-interface gif0"
ipv6_default_interface=3D"gif0"
ipv6_gateway_enable=3D"YES"
rtadvd_enable=3D"YES"
rtadvd_interfaces=3D"de0"
This causes my machine to autoconfigure an IPv6 address on the ethernet
i/f, plus provide rtadvd service to anything else wanting IPv6 connectivi=
ty
on my home LAN. IPv6 traffic from the home LAN is routed via the tunnel =
to
the IPv6 tunnel handler provided by my ISP, but the only reason I need to=
do
that is because IPv6 aware consumer broadband routers are kind of hard to=
obtain.
Cheers,
Matthew
