The genkernel config reflects that of the LiveCD... Chris, do we want IPv6 in?

wolf31o2@inertia /var/tmp/catalyst/snapshots $ grep IPV6
/usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6
# CONFIG_IP_TCPDIAG_IPV6 is not set
CONFIG_IPV6=m
CONFIG_IPV6_PRIVACY=y
CONFIG_IPV6_TUNNEL=m
wolf31o2@inertia /var/tmp/catalyst/snapshots $ grep IPV6
/usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.4
CONFIG_IPV6=y
CONFIG_IP6_NF_MATCH_IPV6HEADER=m


This is already resolved in the latest _pre versions of genkernel and will show
up in genkernel 3.2.0
