Just for playing I disabled auto link-local address generation, then I found that "ifconfig fxp0 inet6 fec0::1 delete" worked after I added that one (without alias, which was my testing reason). Then I also deleted the eui64 address and wanted to reassign it. Another reason I tried to use the -eui64 option with ifconfig was because my fwe0 got no inet6 address! Either the man page of ifconfig is wrong or something else, I couldn't get a working syntax with option eui64. Thanks, -Harry > > What is your current fxp0 configuration?
