(Btw. the only interface > i have on the machine.) Well, we don't know how to you configure your IPv6 router in manual. So you'd better show us the information like your manual scripts if you want to give more correct advices ;; > After digging around a bit i noticed that /etc/rc.d/network_ipv6 sets > net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv=0 and if i manually set > net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv=1 and then restart rtadvd things work and i get > an address on my interface.

Do you have native IPv6 addresses? If you do, i am proud of you. Anyway you need to have a look IPv6 section of FreeBSD Handbook, rtadvd(8) and rtadvd.conf(5). It will give you help. And you need to study IPv6 stuff because it is not as easy as it seems, AFAIK. I mean you can solve your matters if you study more.
