[opensuse] No IPv6 device available with kernel-default-2.6.20.15-ccj49 ?



Hi,

After an upgrade today with Jan's kernel I'm getting an error from
ioctl.
# ip tunnel add sit0 mode sit remote 194.109.5.241 local 10.0.0.150 dev eth1
ioctl: No such device

Same if if use 'ifup sit1' of course.
ifcfg-sit1 content:
STARTMODE='auto'
BOOTPROTO='static'
TUNNEL='sit'
TUNNEL_LOCAL_IPADDR='10.0.0.150'
TUNNEL_REMOTE_IPADDR='194.109.5.241'
IPADDR='2001:888:10:90f::2/64'
TUNNEL_LOCAL_INTERFACE='eth1'
TUNNEL_TTL='64'

With Jan's previous kernel, 2.6.18-ccj45 (iirc) there was no problem
and the tunnel always worked.
The ipv6 module is loaded btw.
# lsmod|grep ipv6
ipv6 292672 42 nf_conntrack_h323,ip6table_mangle

In the source's changelog I see some things relevant to Ipv6, such
as
Mar 9 by gregkh
- patches.fixes/ipv6-no-autoconf: Allow to bring up network
interface w/o ipv6 autoconf (161888).

Mar 8 by jbohac
- patches.fixes/ipv6-fix-null-pointer-hole: fix a possible memory leak
(CVE-2007-1000, #252485)

But why no device is made I have no idea, so, can someone here give
me a clue?
Tnx

Theo
