IPv6 is the next version of the Internet Protocol (otherwise known as
IP, or IPv4).  If you don't know what it is, you probably aren't going
to be using it for anything, so I'd suggest turning off the applicable
line in /etc/rc.conf.

Is is going to cause you any problems if you leave it on?  Probably 
not, but why have a feature turned on that you won't (in all 
likelihood) be needing?  Especially since you're shipping it off to a 
remote location (presuming that New York is not where you are).

I wasn't sure if you were asking about this or not, but for more
information on usbd, "man usbd".  It's a part of the suppport for the 
Universal Serial Bus.
