The use of NIP6_FMT from kernel.h in net/ipv6/addrconf.c changes how / proc/net/if_inet6 format's IPv6 addresses and thus breaks ifconfig's ability to display IPv6 addresses. I'm not sure if this is acceptable breakage of a userspace app or not. - kumar

I know, I have a fix from Yoshifuji in my tree and I'll make sure Linus gets it.
