System: NetBSD beta 3.0_RC5 NetBSD 3.0_RC5 (EV56) #3: Mon Dec 12 20:28:20 CET 2005 pavel@beta:/usr/src/sys/arch/alpha/compile/EV56 alpha
Architecture: alpha
Machine: alpha
>Description:
The GENERIC kernels have IPv6, but the stf device is commented
out. IMHO stf device is a very easy and useful way to get IPv6
connectivity, and it is pointless to have to recompile the kernel just
to have it.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to use 6to4 on your newly installed NetBSD system.
>Fix:
uncomment stf in all kernels which have INET6, except the installation
ones.
