Haven't you received this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=490827#38 ?

Apart from the initial phase (the module name and a "mount") if you
mount the stack over /dev/net/default there are no differences with the
previous approach.

The line

$ um_add_service lwipv6,vd0=/tmp/v1,tp0=tap2,tn0=tun2

translates to:

$ um_add_service umnet
$ mount -t umnetlwipv6 -o "vd0=/tmp/v1,tp0=tap2,tn0=tun2" none /dev/net/default

It's quite straightforward. From that point onwards, the umlwipv6 howto
is good.

Ok, let me know if you still have problems.
