IPv6 configuration

[Robin Elfrink <elfrink@introweb.nl>]

Hi,


I found some problems with IPv6. First is /sbin/ifup, which needs to add 
family type inet6 to ifconfig, and second is /sbin/route which doesn't 
set family type properly and knows only about ipv6 addresses.

I have attached a patch for both. Shall I submit bugs for these?
