Well, the question is certainly not stupid, but it is a little beside the topic of UML. The thing is, the answer is "same way as you give your host system an IPv6 address", which means that the answer depends more on what kind of distro you use for your guest root file system, than it depends on UML. Of course, if you just want to configure the address for a one-shot trial you are independent of distro (I think). All distros use "ifconfig" for this - in the guest you use it on "eth0", on the host on "tap0". If, on the other hand, you wish to make permanent configuration you are more dependent on which distro you are using. I use Debian for both guest and host, and there I configure IPv6 addresses by adding "inet6" stanzas to the /etc/network/interfaces file, again for eth0 on guest and tap0 on host; see "man interfaces" for details.
