I set up IPv6 on my LAN and while I have DHCPd=20 running on the router for IPv4 addresses rtadvd is all I needed for IPv6.=20 Clients assign themselves addresses based on the network prefix they=20 learn from route solicitation and their own MAC address. That's supposed=20 to be one of the "reduced administration" benefits of the new=20 protocol. :) JN
