Subject:   Can't use gifconfig on my Alpha - works on i386

I'm trying to use the freenet6 port to establish an IPv6 tunnel.  I already
had this working 100% correctly on a FreeBSD-4.7 x86 firewall, and copied
the configuration over to it's new FreeBSD-4.7 alpha replacement.
Apparently, there are some problems with the interaction of ifconfig and
gifconfig, but only on the alpha.

On the x86 machine:

    root@kanga# ifconfig gif0 create
    root@kanga# /usr/sbin/gifconfig gif0 inet 208.162.254.126 206.123.31.114
    root@kanga# ifconfig gif0 destroy

On the alpha:

    root@gopher# ifconfig gif0 create
    root@gopher# /usr/sbin/gifconfig gif0 inet 208.162.254.126 206.123.31.114
    gifconfig: gif0 is not gif.

Although the kernel config files are obviously a little different between
the two platforms, they are mostly identical in the non-hardware-dependent
parts.

Has anyone else made this work?
