[afnog] setting permanent IPv6 address on linux

[Noah Sematimba]

Take a look at the config files in /etc/sysconfig/network

Any changes that ought to be permanent have to be made to those 
configuration files. The same holds true for most other things on the 
system. You can find the configuration files normally in /etc/sysconfig or 
/etc
