Configuring device ens3.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-21.48.22.50-1.el7

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start the installation in text mode
2. proceed to the network device configuration screen
3. try to enter a netmask for IPv6

Actual results:
no option for IPv6 netmask

Expected results:
IPv6 netmask option is present

Additional info:
It is possible to enter IPv6 "address" in form address/netmask, but this is not mentioned anywhere.

I think the only thing that needs to happen here is to clarify the input expected when it prompts for the IPv6 address.
