I ran into this "problem" last week when I first brought up a -CURRENT
machine and wanted to play with IPv6. My workaround was to grab the
script /usr/local/v6/etc/rc.net6 from my 3.4-RELEASE+KAME box, tweak it
suitably, and then make sure that it got called from /etc/rc.local.
The two tweaks I remember off-hand was that the paths to commands are
(of course) different under a 4.0-CURRENT environment and that ndp in
-CURRENT works a little different than in the KAME snapshots I was
using earlier.
It seems to me that most of the functionality of rc.net6 could be folded
into /etc/network. I've thought of writing up patches for this, but I'm
not sure when the IPv6 initialization should take place with respect to
the IPv4 interface configuration, starting up of daemons, setting of
various syctls, etc. (Also, there's some new variables that should be
defined in /etc/defaults/rc.conf.)
