Can't ping tunnel endpoint, it doesn't look like packets are leaving the device?

Hi guys

I'm trying to get my first IPv6 tunnel set up and I'm pretty much stuck at square one. I'm trying to build an OpenBSD 5.1 based router running on a soekris 4801. After completing all of the set up steps, when I try to ping any IPv6 address (including the server's ipv6 endpoint address) I get 0 packets received.

My topology:

[  Internet  ] ---- [  (71.212.119.174)  Qwest DLS modem+router  (192.168.0.1) ]  ----  [  (192.168.0.2)  OpenBSD  ]

The Qwest rounter is pretty much an abomination, but it at least has a DMZ mode, so I enabled that for my OpenBSD box. I've also disabled PF just to make sure that's not causing any issues.

Before doing any tunnel configuration:

Code:

# ifconfig
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 33196
priority: 0
groups: lo
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
sis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:00:24:c7:37:38
priority: 0
groups: egress

inet6 fe80::200:24ff:fec7:3738%sis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
sis1: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:00:24:c7:37:39
priority: 0
media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
status: no carrier
sis2: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:00:24:c7:37:3a
priority: 0
media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
status: no carrier
enc0: flags=0<>
priority: 0
groups: enc
status: active
pflog0: flags=141<UP,RUNNING,PROMISC> mtu 33196
priority: 0
groups: pflog

The example configuration for my tunnel:

Code:

ifconfig gif0 tunnel 71.212.119.174 72.52.104.74
ifconfig gif0 inet6 alias 2001:470:1f04:3dd::2 2001:470:1f04:3dd::1 prefixlen 128
route -n add -inet6 default 2001:470:1f04:3dd::1

and after adding the tunnel:

Code:

# ifconfig
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 33196
priority: 0
groups: lo
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
sis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:00:24:c7:37:38
priority: 0
groups: egress
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex)
status: active
inet6 fe80::200:24ff:fec7:3738%sis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
sis1: flags=8842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:00:24:c7:37:39
priority: 0
media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
status: no carrier
sis2: flags=8842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:00:24:c7:37:3a
priority: 0
media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
status: no carrier
enc0: flags=0<>
priority: 0
groups: enc
status: active
pflog0: flags=141<UP,RUNNING,PROMISC> mtu 33196
priority: 0
groups: pflog
gif0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
priority: 0
groups: gif egress
physical address inet 71.212.119.174 --> 72.52.104.74
inet6 fe80::200:24ff:fec7:3738%gif0 -> prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7
inet6 2001:470:1f04:3dd::2 -> 2001:470:1f04:3dd::1 prefixlen 128

and when I try to ping anything (in this case, tunnel endpoint):

Code:

# ping6 2001:470:1f04:3dd::1
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2001:470:1f04:3dd::2 --> 2001:470:1f04:3dd::1
^C
--- 2001:470:1f04:3dd::1 ping6 statistics ---
6 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss

I've tried substituting my external ip address for 192.168.0.2 in the tunnel setup commands, with no effect.

I'm not positive, but I think my ICMP packets aren't even leaving the device. I've replicated the above setup in virtualbox on my laptop, and when I watch the traffic through wireshark I'm never seeing any ping requests when I ping ipv6 address (ipv4 ping requests show up fine). Am I missing some crucial step here?

any thoughts? I'm up for trying anything at this point...
