Synopsis: ipv6 can only be disabled by editing kernel

State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback
State-Changed-By: bmah
State-Changed-When: Fri Jan 19 16:28:42 UTC 2007
State-Changed-Why: 
In FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE, IPv6 support is only enabled if
ipv6_enabled is set to "yes".  If this condition is *not* met,
no IPv6 addresses (including link-local) are configured, and no
IPv6 routes are installed.

(There are two exceptions to the above:  IPv6 link-local addresses
are enabled in single-user mode, to facilitate installation in
IPv6-only environments, and there is always a link-local address
for the loopback interface.)

This has been tested a number of times by a number of developers,
myself included.  You indicated that you did this testing with
6.2-BETA2, but I believe that at this point we still did not have
a good understanding of the issues and of the changes we were making
to try to implement this behavior.  It probably wasn't working as
intended at that point.

Does 6.2-RELEASE work as expected for you?
