bridge(4) and IPv6 link-local address

Hello,

A quick question: Is bridge(4) supposed /not/ to automatically configure 
an IPv6 link-local address?

I'm trying to use it to bridge a wired segment and a wireless segment, 
and router advertisement over bridge0 wouldn't work because, with 
bridge0 lacking a LL address, the router uses a  non-LL address as the 
source address for RA packets, which then is ignored as invalid by other 
IPv6 nodes.

Cheers,
Eugene
