>Description:
Hi,
the section "32.12.5.1 IPv6 Client Settings" of the handbook is wrong.
It says:
To have rtsol(8) autoconfigure your interface on boot on FreeBSD 9.x and later, add:
ipv6_prefer="YES"
to rc.conf.
=> This is totally wrong, if you put ipv6_prefer on a 9.x it will say:
"WARNING: $ipv6_prefer is obsolete. Ignored."
A working method on a 9.0 is to configure the rc.conf like this:
ipv6_enable="YES"
ipv6_network_interfaces="em0"
A working method on a 9.1-prerelease is to configure the rc.conf like that:
ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES"
ifconfig_em0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"
(without the last line, the interface will not accept the rtadv: Then no global address neither default route).
