Hi,

I just updated one of my machines from RELENG_6 as of 2006-11-03, to
RELENG_6 as of 2006-12-29. This caused the IPv6 tunnel which this box
uses, which had been doing fine for months, to suddenly stop working.

Reverting to my 2006-11-03 kernel restored the tunnel again, so my ISP
could be ruled out. :)

The symptoms are that the IPv6 default gateway cannot be reached, and
you'll get "ping6: sendmsg: No route to host" when you try to ping it.

For some reason, the ifconfig command now fails to create the proper
routing table entries. With the 2006-11-03 kernel, if I configure my
gif0 tunnel as follows:

I can confirm my setup with Hurricane Electric also started failing at
some point:
gif_interfaces="gif0"
gifconfig_gif0="AA.BB.CC.DD 64.71.128.83"
ipv6_defaultrouter="AAAA:BBBB:CCCC:DDDD::1C"
ipv6_ifconfig_gif0="AAAA:BBBB:CCCC:DDDD::1D AAAA:BBBB:CCCC:DDDD::1C prefixlen 128"

I needed to add the following to restore the old (working) behavior:
ipv6_static_routes="defroute"
ipv6_route_defroute="AAAA:BBBB:CCCC:DDDD::1C -interface gif0"
