I added the address and then deleted it. However, when I attempt to delete the IPv6 address I've given to the interface, I continually get "bad value." For example, ifconfig sis0 inet6 fec0:1:1:1::2/64 ifconfig sis0 delete fec0:1:1:1::2 Which returns: ifconfig: fec0:1:1:1::2: Bad value I've even tried expressing all 8 "blocks" of the IPv6 address. Could this be a defect in how ifconfig handles IPv6 addresses? If so, whom do I contact to look into it? Andy
