FreeBSD and EUI-64

Rhodes' has had an IPv6 allocation for about a year now, but until just recently we haven't really done much with it. That all changed after David and Kevan went off to a 6DISS workshop and came back with some interesting and useful ideas.

As a matter of policy we've decided that client machines should be using an IPv6 IP address based on the EUI-64 representation of its MAC address. This is pretty much in line with best practices and is what most operating systems' IPv6 stacks do by default. With this in mind, I decided to configure my FreeBSD workstation to talk IPv6.
