Ok,
Yesterday evening I've been busy till late at night to get my router up 
and running and it looks like it is working at the momnt.
The biggest problem that I ran into was the fact that the initialisation 
script for networking are all still based on the old ifconfig 
applications instead of the newer iproute2 package that is included in 
the Devil Linux distribution. And any configuration that I tried failed 
with some error about duplicate addresses etc although there were onle 
single addresses configured in the interface files. Maybe it is time to 
create some new network initialisation scripts that use the iproute2 
package.

After some tinkering with this I decided to fully configure my 
interfaces through the fwbuilder script that I was creating anyway and I 
threw out all the interface files located under /etc/sysconfig/nic.
This put me on a track of manually configuring all interfaces from a 
interface/firewall script so I could use this script in one run for 
those missing things like SIT configuration etc.

The IPv6 firewall that I created is a bunch of lines with at the moment 
only the most basic things like nothing in except related/established stuff.
I hope to put this into fwbuilder script some day, but as far as I know 
fwbuilder IPv6 support is far from existing.

More to follow.
