how to disable 'sending IPv6 router solicitation'

Hi:

How to disable 'sending IPv6 router solicitation' ?

I'm using NetBSD current on AMD64 box with Atheros NIC that connects to a IPv4 
router for DHCP assigned address.

x53u# dhcpcd -d -g -L -n -w re0

dhcpcd[23650]: version 5.6.1 starting
dhcpcd[23650]: re0: using hwaddr 10:bf:48:57:16:27
dhcpcd[23650]: re0: executing `/libexec/dhcpcd-run-hooks', reason PREINIT
dhcpcd[23650]: re0: executing `/libexec/dhcpcd-run-hooks', reason CARRIER
dhcpcd[23650]: re0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
dhcpcd[23650]: re0: broadcasting for a lease
dhcpcd[23650]: re0: sending DISCOVER (xid 0xfe71caf0), next in 3.20 seconds
dhcpcd[23650]: re0: sending DISCOVER (xid 0xfe71caf0), next in 8.90 seconds
dhcpcd[23650]: re0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
dhcpcd[23650]: re0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
dhcpcd[23650]: re0: sending DISCOVER (xid 0xfe71caf0), next in 15.87 seconds
dhcpcd[23650]: re0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
dhcpcd[23650]: re0: no IPv6 Routers available
dhcpcd[23650]: re0: sending DISCOVER (xid 0xfe71caf0), next in 32.40 seconds
dhcpcd[23650]: timed out

I don't want IPv6 and Zeroconf, rather just plain ipv4 DHCP address.

If i 'reboot' the system, it is able to acquire a ipv4 address, but if i boot 
the system with no networking (consider it no carrier available), and later 
attempt the following
 # /etc/rc.d/network restart
 # dhcpcd -d -g -L -n -w re0
then dhcpcd is not able to acquire the ipv4 address at all.

Any suggestions ?


thanks
