           Summary: Chapter on Configuring IPv6 (31.9.2) incomplete for
                    novices
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation

When you configure IPv6 for the first time having little knowledge about, no
IPv6 address will resolve with the depicted configuration. Found in this
ancient [1]
documentation is that 'no_radr' is the default. From a user's POV it is hard to
understand from ifconfig manpage that this has to be set to "-no_radr" to have
the default router added to the list.

Please update documentation to contain "inet6 -no_radr accept_rtadv". Mark the
subsequent paragraph as for envs w/o local routers, but with static config.
