I was trying to get my static ipv6 setup working but when running /etc/init.d/net.re0 start I got these error messages: * Bringing up interface re0 * Waiting for carrier (5 seconds) .. [ ok ] * 10.136.137.66/27 ... * 2001:a60:f034::202/120 ... ifconfig: 2001:a60:f034::202/120: bad value [ !! ] * Adding routes * default via 10.136.137.65 ... [ ok ] * default via 2001:a60:f034::201 ... route: bad address: 2001:a60:f034::201 [ !! ] The reason is that /lib/rcscripts/net/ifconfig.sh is executing "ifconfig ${iface} add ${address}" but for ipv6 it has to be "ifconfig ${iface} inet6 add ${address}". Same applies for routes(needs -inet6 as param).

Created attachment 124072 [details, diff] gentoo_fbsd_inet6.patch Patch. It fixes static ipv6 on Gentoo/FreeBSD but it BREAKS static ipv6 on Gentoo/Linux. Therefore it should only be used on Gentoo/FreeBSD. (I also added to part to remove all routes manually because FreeBSD's ifconfig seems not to remove inet6 routes.)
This should be assigned to bsd (at) gentoo.org, not base-system :>
Fixed in our svn repo, thanks.
