First make sure your interface is rtk0. For example, have a look in your
/var/run/dmesg.boot file. (On mine I can search for "thernet" and see it
is we1.) You can also run "ifconfig -l" to list some available interfaces.

Do you want to use DHCP?

(I don't know about using dhclient in addition to ICMPv6 Router
Solicitations.)

Have a look at "ifconfig -a" and "netstat -rn" to see how your network is
configured.
