Is it still a problem with current if_bridge implementation that doesn't inherit the mac address by default? The current behaviour avoids using rtadvd on the bridge interface with the rc scripts. FWIW, I tried to manually set the link-local address and all other required aliases, started rtadvd, etc., and all seems to work correctly. -- Alex Dupre
