System: NetBSD eos 5.99.7 NetBSD 5.99.7 (GENERIC.MP) #7: Tue Jan 13 05:42:59 JST 2009 takeshi@nyx:/export/netbsd-cvs/src/sys/arch/sparc64/compile/GENERIC.MP sparc64
Architecture: sparc64

>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.

State-Changed-Why:
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.
