Hello,

I am having a question about if_bridge and IPv6 link-local addresses
I am using FreeBSD 6.2-p7 and after setting rc.conf like the following
and rebooting, I get no link-local address for bridge0

ipv6_enable="YES"
cloned_interfaces="bridge0"
ifconfig_bridge0="addm sis0 addm sis1 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_sis0="up"
ifconfig_sis1="up"
ifconfig_sis2="DHCP"

The 3 sis interfaces get link-local addresses normally.

Is there any specific reason which eludes me for this ?

Thanks for the good work. Have a nice holiday.
