>Description:
The net/freenet6 port takes it upon itself to manipulate the rtadvd(8) daemon.

Doing so might make sense in the event that there is a single network behind
the freenet6 IPv6 tunnel and the entire prefix is to be deployed on that single
network.

However, if there is a more sophisticated IPv6 subnet setup with the freenet6
prefix split between several networks, freenet6's attempt to manipulate rtadvd
will not work properly.

The patch below removes the rtadvd start/stop from freenet6, allowing rtadvd
to be configured and run independently of freenet6.  Alternative patches, which
more cleverly determine when freenet6 should or should not start/stop rtadvd
would also be acceptable.
>How-To-Repeat:
Configure /etc/rtadvd.conf for separate IPv6 subnets on multiple network interfaces.
Configure rtadvd_interfaces in /etc/rc.conf to have list of multiple interfaces.
Run rtadvd; observe RAs going to those multiple interfaces.
Start freenet6.
Observe that rtadvd has been killed and is now restarted with only freenet6's
TSP_HOME_INTERFACE interface argument.
Observe no RAs going to the other interfaces any more.
