No luck
root at test:/etc/mail # grep ip /etc/rc.conf
#ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="NO"
#ipv6_network_interfaces="none"
ip6addrctl_enable="YES"
ip6addrctl_policy="ipv4_prefer"
root at test:/etc/mail # ip6addrctl
Prefix Prec Label Use
::1/128 50 0 0
::/0 40 1 0
::ffff:0.0.0.0/96 100 4 0
2002::/16 30 2 0
2001::/32 5 5 0
fc00::/7 3 13 0
::/96 1 3 0
fec0::/10 1 11 0
3ffe::/16 1 12 0
I stress, this is fresh system which was installed from official BETA2
img and I didn't configure anything else. It's default system.
