hello,

in /rc/bin/ipv6on we (labs,9atom and 9front) have the following code.
	ip/ipconfig $xdir loopback /dev/null	add $mev6 /128

this code is curious to me.
the code doesn=E2=80=99t put ipv6 loopback address "::1" to =
/net/ipselftab.
and, why we need $mev6 (my ipv6 address) for simply adding loopback =
address  "::1" to /net/ipselftab?

isn=E2=80=99t it enough the code below?
	ip/ipconfig $xdir loopback /dev/null	add ::1 /128

it seems this code is working for me.
