>Description:
	Pre-5.99.6 ifconfig binary cannot configure IPv6 network address.

>How-To-Repeat:
	eos# ifconfig hme0 inet6 eos alias
	ifconfig: SIOCAIFADDR_IN6: Inappropriate ioctl for device

>Fix:
	Some structures in netinet6/in6_var.h use time_t. So it
	seems we need to provide compat ioctls.

Has this been fixed? I vaguely recall some ifconfig-related compat stuff
being cleaned up during the -6 release cycle.

 Yes, -6 kernel with -5 userland works well.
