Hi, Greg,
Okay, I checked and, on this interface only, ipv6 was not fully disabled on
my router. Now it is, and I rebooted this NetBSD system. I still see the
following in ifconfig:
inet6 fe80::e654:e8ff:fe66:927d%wm0/64 flags 0 scopeid 0x1
That is a link local address and harmless.
The output from "netstat -nr -f inet6" is quite long. The entries in the
Gateway column are '::1', 'lo0', 'link#1', and 'fe80::1'.
Check for a line starting with "default" - you should not have that.
However, the fe80::1 probably points at your router, claiming to
be a IPv6 router, which it isn't (if as you say IPv6 is disabled).
A router that offers a route but then doesn't properly forward IPv6
packets is broken and should be fixed.
