Huh.  No idea where that is coming from.  (Well, I know where it is 
coming from, but it really shouldn't be printed, as IPv6 on OSX is fully
supported...)

I'll look into it and send a patch.

That one is related to no tun/tap driver loaded.  In my tests, I always
fired up tunnelblick first to make it load the driver :-) and then it
works from the cli as well.

ACK.

I'll look into it.  (Been in that same situation with tap on *BSD, where
you need to kldload if_tap first...)
