I do not get any IPv6 addresses configured. I didn't re-try my original configuration, but I will at another time. Both of your recommendations failed until I entered ipv6_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf. I did not have this line prior, yet the addresses were successfully applied, just no default gateway. Either way, thanks much :) I will try out your second recommendation again in the future. For now, problem resolved. Cheers! Steve
