It says: To have rtsol(8) autoconfigure your interface on boot on FreeBSD 9.x and later, add: ipv6_prefer="YES" to rc.conf. => This is totally wrong, if you put ipv6_prefer on a 9.x it will say: "WARNING: $ipv6_prefer is obsolete. Ignored." A working method on a 9.0 is to configure the rc.conf like this: ipv6_enable="YES" ipv6_network_interfaces="em0" A working method on a 9.1-prerelease is to configure the rc.conf like that: ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES" ifconfig_em0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv" (without the last line, the interface will not accept the rtadv: Then no global address neither default route).
