>Description:

I have a problem with my FreeBSD 4.2-BETA hosts. One is configured as host
and one as a router. The problem described below appeared after upgrading
from 4.1.1-RELEASE to 4.2-BETA.

PROBLEM
=======
This appears on my console:

    Nov  9 13:29:51 ws140 /kernel: in6_ifadd: wrong prefixlen for de0(prefix=10 ifid=64)
    Nov  9 13:29:51 ws140 /kernel: prelist_update: failed to add a new address

    ROOT ws140:~> tcpdump icmp6
    tcpdump: listening on de0
    13:29:51.225298 fe80::210:5aff:fe69:df83 > ff02::1: icmp6: router advertisement

This is from my host:

    ws140:~> ifconfig -a inet6
    de0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
            inet6 fe80::280:c8ff:fe4c:67b8%de0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 
            inet6 3ffe:xxx:x:3f01:280:c8ff:fe4c:67b8 prefixlen 64 
    gif0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
    ifconfig: gif0 has no inet6 interface address!
    lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
            inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 
            inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 

And this is from the router:

    router:~> ifconfig -a inet6
    xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
            inet6 fe80::210:5aff:fe69:df83%xl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 
            inet6 3ffe:xxx:x:3f01:210:5aff:fe69:df83 prefixlen 64 
            inet6 3ffe:xxx:x:3f01:: prefixlen 64 anycast 
            inet6 3ffe:xxx:x:3f01::1 prefixlen 64 
    gif0: flags=8111<UP,POINTOPOINT,PROMISC,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
            inet6 fe80::210:5aff:fe69:df83%gif0 --> :: prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 
    gif1: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
    ifconfig: gif1 has no inet6 interface address!
    gif2: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
    ifconfig: gif2 has no inet6 interface address!
    gif3: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
    ifconfig: gif3 has no inet6 interface address!
    lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
            inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6 
            inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 
    faith0: flags=8000<MULTICAST> mtu 1500
    ifconfig: faith0 has no inet6 interface address!

    router:~> ps ax | grep -e route -e rtadvd
      132  ??  Ss     0:00.48 /usr/sbin/route6d
      134  ??  Ss     0:00.07 rtadvd xl0

    router:~> grep ipv6 /etc/rc.conf

        3ffe:200:8:3f01::/64(KERNEL, vltime: 2592000, pltime: 604800, flags: LA)

REASON
======
Looks like this routing table entry is the reason:

fec0::/10                         link#1                        UCS         xl0

What am I doing wrong? Or is there an error in FreeBSD's rc.network6?
There was a change (1.5.2.7 -> 1.5.2.8) which might be the reason...
