It's totally doable; you just have to assigned a link-local address to the bridge. There are some reasons why one isn't defined by default, which somebody more knowledgeable about the challenges in the implementation can highlight. Here's my configuration from rc.conf: ipv6_ifconfig_bridge0="2001:470:8337:10::1/64" ipv6_ifconfig_bridge0_alias0="fe80::2%bridge0 prefixlen 64" Once you're doing that, rtadvd will start doing the right thing. -- Chris Cowart http://www.timesinks.net/
