Actually, no, the correct line would be:

                        set_6to4_radvd_prefix    "$sid" "$adv_interface" \
                                "$wancfg" "$(printf "%s:%x::/64"
$prefix6 $adv_subnet) \
                                "$adv_valid_lifetime" "$adv_preferred_lifetime"

arguably "subnet6" is misnamed.

There is another bug in this script in correctly adding multiple
interfaces. It succeeds on the first, but not the rest, and thus far I
can't figure out why.

There is another bug in that arguably the interface itself should have
a prefix lifetime (monitored somehow) and mtu set and I'd argue for
marking it secondary in the hope that someday real ipv6 addresses
would become common.

And last bug, in that with the latest quagga OR dnsmasq, radvd is not
needed, except for detecting and generating the 6to4 prefix.
