Sorry for the inconvenience. I have changed 
net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv=1
in /etc/rc.network6 
and interactively with sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv=1
and it has worked with the stateless address autoconfiguration.
Still I believe the message was misleading. In the case of Linux SuSe
it is in fact a matter of kernel Configuration. Here it is probably not.
One doesn't reconfigure the kernel with sysctl.
