Here is a corrected patch for this problem. In a default installation
with IPv6 enabled, there will be attempts by both IPv4 and IPv6 to
bring up plip[012]. The patch to rc.d/network_ipv6 detects when
ipv6_ifconfig_plipn is set to NOAUTO. The patch to defaults/rc.conf
sets both ifconfig_plip[012] and ipv6_ifconfig_plip[012] to NOAUTO,
keeping the plip interfaces from being brought UP automatically.
