You're interested in IPv6, that's good!

Yes, ifconfig doesn't work well with recent kernels, while
iptunnel that comes together with ifconfig in the net-tools
package does work. I've been planning to look into this...
Should be possible to fix ifconfig. Perhaps someone else
here knows more.

I think this should work:

iptunnel add freenet6 mode sit remote 206.123.31.102 ttl 64
