/dev/sit0 is deprecated but you can still do 'ifconfig sit0 up' and it
will appear. I'm not sure what's replaced it but I'm sure a google
would give you this info.

One thing I have to ask is why you're enabling ipv6 in the first
place. It's a wonderful protocol but even major backbones don't always
support it yet, let along small routers such as linksys. Hell, the
majority of the mid-grade cisco routers don't even support it yet.

Though just to be useful, I found this howto pretty informative.
