Chapter 27.10 IPv6 correction

Hi,

	I think there is a small mistake on the gif0-tunnel configuration
(under 27.10.3 Getting Connected): the last "ifconfig gif0 inet6 alias ..."
needs a "prefixlen 128" appended (see attached patches for clarity). It
at least only worked w/ this on my FreeBSD 6.1 system.

Regards.
