Hi,

While writing my ifconfig regress test I realized that IPv6 netmasks
are parsed, but silently ignored.  Ignoring commandline parameters
feels wrong and is inconsistent to IPv4.

Of course I don't expect anyone to use something like this:

ifconfig vether0 inet6 fdd7:e83e:66bc:ffff::17 netmask 
ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff

But current implementation sets a prefixlen 64 in this case.

ok?
