Thanks for the reply. I have now in rc.conf the following lines:

/etc/rc.conf

wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
# IPv6 starts here
# add ipv6 entry for wlan0
ipv6_network_interfaces="wlan0"
# set up wlan0 to accept rtadv(8) advertisements
ifconfig_wlan0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"
ip6addrctl_enable="YES"
ip6addrctl_policy="ipv6_prefer"
ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES"
# ifconfig_wlan0_ipv6="YES"
# IPv6 end here

And when the interface associates it gives the output attached below for
ifconfig and netstat; but nothing is working, esp. not

# ping6 www.muc.de

I have no idea, what's missing... It's not an big issue for me, as I can
use my Linux phone as a hotspot, but would be nice to get this working
for the next year's filmfest.
