I gather you are supposed to use netif_set_link_up()/down() when you have a 
change in link status.  So, I notice that from calling netif_set_link_up() 
after getting a valid link status then DHCP Request messages go out and all 
that is verified again.  That is working well.  But I am now wondering what 
should be happening on the IP6 side.  When my link comes back up after going 
down I see some router solicitation messages go out again but I am wondering if 
also some neighbor discovery messages should go out as well to verify the link 
local and auto-configured addresses.

When my link is re-established I tried manually setting any IP6 address states 
to IP6_ADDR_TENTATIVE and I noticed that this causes the neighbor solicitations 
to go out again and then the states go back to IP6_ADDR_PREFERRED.  Is there 
another, more preferred, way to accomplish this?
