I added the options a couple weeks ago.  Everthing has been working fairly
well.  Two issues I have seen which I haven't verified if they are are related
to INET6 or something else.

First, ever since I added INET6, I have been seeing errors like

	looutput: af=0 unexpected	(or something close to that)

These are appearing frequently (several a minute).  (There also is no newline
after this error message in the kernel.)

I ran cvsup around 15:00 EST today and built world and a new kernel.  After
rebooting, I started getting error messages from dhclient about unsupported
address families.  I haven't looked into this to determine if dhclient is
working correctly and reporting warnings or is not working at all.  I'll try to
do some more checking later tonight or tomorrow.

I'll also try to do more testing of INET6 in general.  Starting in another week,
I'll be unemployed and will use the time (when I'm not job hunting) to try and
set up a network of a couple machines for testing.  I can probably put a gateway
in the middle as well.
