Can't get ethereal to compile with IPv6 support

[Frederic Peters <fpeters@debian.org>]

Hi,

I'm the maintainer of ethereal and can't get it to enable ipv6-support.
The configure script can't get ipv6 stack type and I have a hard time
figuring how it determines this. The relevant code is attached.

I tried to force the stack type to 'linux' but it failed to link (to
libsnmp!).

	Frederic
