I'm glad to hear that, although now I have a sinking feeling about the state of the -current code. In your OP you said you updated to -current, what version of FreeBSD did you upgrade from?

How old/what version of FreeBSD did you upgrade from? and now I'm getting an error on startup from ifconfig saying the the IPv6 addresses I've configured are wrong (bad value). Can you please paste the exact error message? The settings I've got in rc.conf are: # IPv6 setup ipv6_prefer=YES This is no longer needed. ipv6_gateway_enable=YES ipv6_defaultrouter=2001:abcd:abcd:abc::x gif_interfaces=gif0 gif1 gifconfig_gif0=a.b.c.d e.f.g.h gifconfig_gif1=a.b.c.d i.j.k.l ifconfig_gif0_ipv6=2001:abcd:abcd:abc::x abcd:abc:abcd:abc::x prefixlen 128 ifconfig_gif1_ipv6=2a01:abcd:a:bc::x abcd:abc:x:ab::x prefixlen 128 # if_bridge doesn't have a link-local address by default, so add one ifconfig_bridge0_ipv6=fe80::2%bridge0 prefixlen 64 It's likely that you need to add inet6 before fe80 there: ifconfig_bridge0_ipv6=inet6 fe80::2%bridge0 prefixlen 64 ifconfig_bridge0_ipv6_alias0=2001:abcd:abcd:abcd::x See the rc.conf man page on this one, this should probably be: ifconfig_bridge0_alias0=inet6 2001:abcd:abcd:abcd::x prefixlen 64 I can manually run ifconfig once the systems running so I guess I've missed out a required setting somewhere?
