Oh boy, should have read more code before posting that ^^.

Thanks a lot for your feedback :)

I've modified that patch to make it use the macros defined in in6.h. I'm
also quite
aware that this patch might be rejected since it might break script
depending on `ifconfig`
output. But it's a useful little learning experience anyway :)

Kind regards,
