Above is kind of mixed up. I think the `ifconfig_re0=3D=E2=80=9CDHCP=E2=80=
=9D=E2=80=99 is superfluous, your interface will be getting assigned its =
address by the router using stateless autoconfiguration not DHCP.

Perhaps trying to configure both stateless autoconfiguration and DHCP is =
upsetting your wireless interface.

DHCP is almost never required with IPv6.
