Interesting issue when using IPv6 autoconf sysctl.

I just tried using the /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/[dev]/autoconf feature to run off auto-configured link-local addresses for one of my interfaces.

It worked like a charm, the address is gone, and now the /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/[dev] directory does not exist so I can't turn it back on!

I can work around this by forcing an ipv6 address back onto the interface and then removing it, but that is pretty crufty!

There has got to be a better way to implement this!

Thanks,
Ben
