Freenet6 requires iproute2 to work. I emerged 4.x, 5, and 5.1 on amd64 and none of them worked until i emerged iproute2. After that, worked no prob. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge freenet6 <without iproute2 installed> 2./etc/init.d/gw6c start 3.
Do you use special settings in /etc/freenet6/gw6c.conf? I have tested with a default configuration file (both anonymous and authentificated), and it worked without iproute2 Also, which error messages do you get? (or incorrect behavoir, ie does the tun interface appear?)

I went to the freeweb site and made an account and set my username/password/server to use authentication. You are corrent in that I didnt try it anonymously. The error comes from the linux.sh script: 2008/03/19 08:59:47 gw6c: --- Start of configuration script. --- 2008/03/19 08:59:47 gw6c: Script: linux.sh 2008/03/19 08:59:47 gw6c: sit1 setup 2008/03/19 08:59:47 gw6c: Setting up link to 64.86.88.117 2008/03/19 08:59:47 gw6c: /sbin/ifconfig sit1 tunnel ::64.86.88.117 2008/03/19 08:59:47 gw6c: Error while executing /sbin/ifconfig 2008/03/19 08:59:47 gw6c: Command: /sbin/ifconfig sit1 tunnel ::64.86.88.117 2008/03/19 08:59:47 gw6c: Script failed to execute correctly. 2008/03/19 08:59:47 gw6c: Interface setup (running the template linux) failed.

And yes, tun was loaded, from dmesg: tun: Universal TUN/TAP device driver, 1.6 tun: (C) 1999-2004 Max Krasnyansky <maxk@qualcomm.com>
Ah I see now. The linux.sh is a template script generic to all Linux systems. On Gentoo you don't need to run it, just use the init script (/etc/init.d/gw6c). Btw I need to update this guide, as it still speaks about the 'tspc' client
Guide update request done in bug #223691, all done here! Thanks for the report
