DING ! You win the  door prize!!
yep, I finally figured out & looked around /etc modprobe.d/aliases & local. 
Once I UNDID that, I was able to reconfigure the tunnel as per the 
instructions and my ifconfig now added this section:

he-ipv6   Link encap:IPv6-in-IPv4  
          inet6 addr: 2001:470:7:238::2/64 Scope:Global
          inet6 addr: fe80::d041:5b6b/128 Scope:Link
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP  MTU:1480  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)


no packets yet. do I need to restart networking ?
how about adding he-ipv6 to the interfaces file?
