What's your setting for the net.inet6.ip6.dad_count sysctl?  I know for a 
fact that FreeBSD does send out DAD as it has been killing me in MIP6 
simulations.

I just tested with a recent 6.2-pre and it does too send out DAD packets 
and prevents me from configureing a duplicate on an interface 
yelling: "bge0: DAD detected duplicate IPv6 address ..."  This is a X41 
bge0 vs. an fxp0 onboard a tyan mobo, btw.

Does manual address configuration yield DAD packets?
