I don't know the answers. But if umb works differently it will suck.
I also feel noone is going to read the manual page, find this piece of text, and understand it. Honestly, I don't understand this piece of text. I'm not going to set the AUTOCONF6 flag. How does one even set it? ifconfig: AUTOCONF6: bad value Of course not, but I am ironically trying to show this documentation chunk doesn't help at all. People can't act upon it properly. I still argue umb's inet6 should work absolutely as much like regular interfaces, or it is useless. People are not going to treat this interface differently and then gain successful inet6. If inet6 can't work naturally and easily, but instead is a special snowflake, that is just plain dumb.
