Of course not, because in May and before may and before RC1 it was not needed at all to have ipv6_enable="YES" to have link-local routes.

So what needed ? I do not understand.

auto_linklocal or ipv6_enable ?

Um, are you sure?  I thought the idea was that the auto_linklocal script
checked ipv6_enable.

To the OP:  You don't appear to have any other IPv6 interface addresses
configured...do you have this line in /etc/rc.conf?

ipv6_enable="YES"

If not, I'd try adding *that*.

Bruce.
