I need to do both IPv4 and IPv6. It was addressed in LFS 6.4 (the last one I
used) wasn't it?
Just needed to create a file /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth0/ipv6
with contents of:
ONBOOT=yes
SERVICE=ipv6-static
PREFIX=64
IP=XXXX:X:XXXX:XXXX::XXX
GATEWAY=XXXX:X:XXXX:XXXX::X
where the X are actually the relevant IP and gateway :)
