I have the following entry in "/etc/config/network"

config interface 'dsrcnet0'
        option ifname  'ath0'
        option proto   'static'
        option ip6addr '3001:470:ec5a:fffd::11/64'

This is a DSRC interface.

If we configure ip addr using `ifconfig` it works.

root@US16SIQC:~# ifconfig ath0 2001::/64
root@US16SIQC:~# ifconfig ath0
ath0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:03:7F:C2:AA:00  
          inet6 addr: 2001::/64 Scope:Global
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:16100152 errors:0 dropped:16098184 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          RX bytes:2164357125 (2.0 GiB)  TX bytes:1792 (1.7 KiB)

How do I make it work from the config file?
/etc/init.d/network reload/restart doesn't set the ip addr

Thanks in advance
