Re: turning off IPv6 in my wlan0 interface

Hello,

Adding this in /etc/rc.conf should work:
ip6addrctl_enable="NO"

More information can be found in the man page:
https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=rc.conf&apropos=0&sektion=5&manpath=FreeBSD+14.0-RELEASE+and+Ports&arch=default&format=html

Kind regards.
Alexandre
