Here is what I use (on Centos 4, but that should be close enough for
Fedora:

# Tunnel to XS4ALL official address space
DEVICE="sit1"
BOOTPROTO="none"
ONBOOT="yes"

#IPV6INIT="yes"                         # Initalize IPv6 "yes" or "no"
IPV6INIT="yes"                           # Initalize IPv6 "yes" or "no"

IPV6TUNNELIPV4="194.109.5.241"         # Here specify the IP4 address of
the foreign tunnel endpoint

IPV6ADDR="2001:888:10:xxxx::2/64"        # Local IPv6 address/prefix of
a numbered tunnel
