Hi all!

While brushing up my ipv6 knowledge i ran into an issue with sixxs-aiccu 
and configuring ipv6 in rc.conf:

I have manually configured my gateway to route ipv6 to my internal 
network, and this works without problems.
But as soon as i have ipv6_gateway_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf rtadvd 
doesn't set an ipv6 address on my vr0 interface. (Btw. the only interface 
i have on the machine.)

After digging around a bit i noticed that /etc/rc.d/network_ipv6 sets 
net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv=0 and if i manually set 
net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv=1 and then restart rtadvd things work and i get 
an address on my interface.

Since i guess dissabling accept_rtadv is done for a reason i wonder what
is the correct way to setup ipv6 in /etc/rc.conf is?
