It looks like we have a bigger problem than this: I was going to simply write instructions on disabling IPv6 autoconfiguration, or how to completely disable IPv6 on an interface. But when testing it on wheezy, it seems the necessary ifconfig flags are not working on kfreebsd-amd64 or kfreebsd-i386, at least on 9.0 kernels: # ifconfig xn0 ifdisabled ifconfig: ioctl(SIOCGIFINFO_IN6): Invalid argument # ifconfig xn0 -accept_rtadv ifconfig: ioctl(SIOCGIFINFO_IN6): Invalid argument This bug would have to be fixed in stable first. It looks like kernel ABI breakage, but at first glance the ioctl looks correct and data structures the same. There is a sysctl but by design it only sets a default for interfaces not 'attached' yet, which is of no help here. And changing the default from the bootloader might not work either - a loader tunable for this wasn't implemented until r253239 (kFreeBSD 9.2).
