Ethereal does not show IPv6 addresses on my Mac OS X 10.3.4 system...

Best regards

If you're using the address list from "pcap_findalldevs()", then, at
least on some platforms, you will get IPv6 addresses (and if there are
platforms on which you don't, that's a bug).

It should work on:

	the BSDs;

	Linux distributions with "getifaddrs()";

	*possibly* Linux distributions without "getifaddrs()";

	Solaris;

	at least some Win32 systems;

and possibly others.  (I no longer have access to as many different
OSes, and don't remember whethere I tried AIX or Digital UNIX systems
with IPv6 addresses.)
