v6 startup

[Alexander Koch <koch@tiscali.net>]

Hello,

I am doing something wrong on this box, I think.
When saying ifdown eth0, then rmmod and insmod again,
v6 is not there. What I see is:

shekinah /lib/modules/2.5.52 # traceroute6 www.kame.net
traceroute: bind sending socket: Invalid argument

shekinah /lib/modules/2.5.52 # ip -6 route ls
2001:668:0:f::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256  mtu 1500 advmss 1440
fe80::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256  mtu 1500 advmss 1440
ff00::/8 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256  mtu 1500 advmss 1440
default dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256  mtu 1500 advmss 1440
unreachable default dev lo  metric -1  error -101

My /etc/network/interfaces says this:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 213.200.88.76
        netmask 255.255.255.128
        gateway 213.200.88.1

iface eth0 inet6 static
        address 2001:0668:0000:f::76
        netmask 64
        #up ip route add default via 2001:668:0:f:: dev eth0 

So where is the default route coming from? Nothing here
should announce a default route, no radvd or zebra or cisco
in this network. Previously I had the now commented- out ip
route command but that did not work either.

Anyone?

I can type 'ip -6 route del default dev eth0' and then use
the command above and it works, but surely this is not the
preferred way to put this in the up statements, right?

Alexander,
overcoming his lazyness and trying to do it right from the start...
