Just a line with 'ipv6_enable="YES"' /etc/rc.conf and it is done. But how do you configure an IPv6 in IPv4 tunnel in rc.conf? I can do it on the commandline, I'm just trying to figure out how to do it in rc.conf. I can get the IPv4 part configured with something like this: gif_interfaces="gif0" gifconfig_gif0="146.64.84.9 146.64.8.68" But how/where do you configure the IPv6 part of the tunnel? Do you have to put it in the network_interfaces= section where the normal IPv4 configuration is done? Another question, how do you add a default IPv6 route in rc.conf? There is an ipv6_default_interface= variable, but from the comments it looks like it is only meant for link local multicast addresses.
