Hi Hackers, 

    I was wondering if someone could give me some advice. I just updated one of my servers from 7.2-pre to 7.2-stable (07/05/2009) and lost my IPv6 connectivity. The machine has been given a static IPv6 address and ND is not used (I set the address in the rc.conf file). On reboot, I get messages like this in the dmesg:

vr0: DAD detected duplicate IPv6 address 2001:49f0:2023::2: NS in/out=3/1, NA in=0
vr0: DAD complete for 2001:49f0:2023::2 - duplicate found

        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 

This fault has only shown up since the upgrade and I am at a loss for what to try to do to fix this or debug. Any advice would be appreciated.
