reading the sources, I figured that ifwatchd doesn't print events if there's
no script for it, even in verbose mode.
So I added a script which does a dhcpcd -k and start a new one on link up
events, and now ipv6 comes back up automatically after a modem reboot.

Still would be nice if dhcpcd could do this by itself, but at last I have a
workaround ...
