ifconfig with ipv6-support

It looks like the 'ifconfig' that came with v0.5 current doesn't support ipv6.

[egil@belerophon egil]$ ifconfig sit0 inet6 tunnel ::xxxxxx
inet6: Unknown host

Any plans for updating?
Otherwise, how do I fix it myself ?

i believe if you pacman -Sy pacman then pacman -Syu you will have the more current packages (kernel etc) which i believe support ipv6.

As Sarah said, the newest version of ifconfig does have ipv6 and you should upgrade.

I'm running 0.6 now and it works great.
Keep up the good work!
