Hi,

Not sure how others do it, but on the section of adding a static, you could add the following:

The host address section of your ipv6 address is made up of an EUI-64 id. 
When you when you have the ipv6 module installed, your ethernet card
should have a link-local address which is a slightly modified version
of your mac address:

2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100
    link/ether 00:00:b4:93:2a:b3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 202.0.32.99/28 brd 202.0.32.111 scope global eth0
    inet6 fe80::200:b4ff:fe93:2ab3/10 scope link tentative

The link-local address above is fe80::200:b4ff:fe93:2ab3. 
To derive a global address from this, take the last 
four sets of numbers and add them to your network address,

e.g., for the network 3ffe:b80:6cc:1::/64, the following would assign
the correct address for your interface:

ip addr add 3ffe:b80:6cc:1:200:b4ff:fe93:2ab3/64 eth0

Cheers,

Chris
