Followup:
(sorry for unconventional thread posting and the delay -
learning OpenBSD is my very late night hobby
so I'm not subscribed to the misc list)
3 persons posted with suggestions (mherrb, stu, and raimo)

I rebooted, then checked by running 'sysctl net.inet6' to confirm changes
so, not that.

here's my rtsol
$ sudo rtsol -d re0
checking if re0 is ready...
re0 is ready
send RS on re0, whose state is 2
received RA from fe80::00a1:b1ff:fea1:b1e1 on re0, state is 2
stop timer for re0
there is no timer
and here is my rtsold.dump
Interface re0
probe interval: infinity
no probe timer
interface status: active
other config: on
rtsold status: IDLE
carrier detection: available
probes: 0, dadcount = 0
no timer
number of valid RAs: 2
It seems to see the RA
however, this doesn't say anything about processing the prefix.
Is there any toggle/flag to get it to output debug info about the prefix?
And what is this 'other config'? I've googled it, and can't find enough
to educate myself.
Also, is having the rtsold daemon running all the time required?
If you have hostname.if with rtsol to set the route at boot,
do you have to run rtsold?
I guess that would be useful on large dynamic networks, but
simple home networks, would the absence of rtsold be a problem?
I was not aware of that from reading the man pages for hostname.if
and rtsol(d).
mherrb further suggested:

A) The switch is an HP Procurve 1410-16G (not inexpensive)
B) The MacOSX machines in my network are not having a problem
configuring with the proper prefix, so I don't think it is the switch

okay - sorry - I've put it at the bottom of this post
(always seems to me like a waste of electrons)

When I let tcpdump run for a couple minutes before to snag the route
solicitation and advertisement - no help.
How long of a time are you suggesting?
>for your obfuscated MAC addresses, did you just change them in the

no, I did not set them with ifconfig
I just fudged them in the email to hide my MAC
(don't most people do that - make up DEAD:BEEF:CAFE:BABE etc?)
So, still no luck.
I also tried setting IPv4 to do dhcp in hostname.re0 instead of the
fixed address like in my original email, and rebooted several times,
but still no help.
Other thoughts?
thank you for your offers of help and advice
