>Description:
The IPv6 handbook page (found here http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-ipv6.html) explains how to set up a static ipv6 addr, but not how to accept router advertisements. It should contain something to the effect of:
ifconfig_$if_ipv6="accept_rtadv" is used to enable IPv6 router advertisements.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot up a fresh 9.0-RELEASE on an IPv6 enabled network with SLAAC and follow instruction on IPv6 handbook page. Observe yourself getting no IPv6
>Fix:
Add ifconfig_$if_ipv6="accept_rtadv" and a bit about accepting router advertisements to the docs
