ifconfig not waiting for DAD completion
When my wm(4) interface goes from down to up, it first enters a 'detached'
state for 1s or so, then the carrier is detected and the interface goes to the
ipv6 'tentative' state.
The detached state is long enough for ifconfig -w in /etc/rc.d/network to not
wait at all for DAD (the interface is still 'detached' when ifconfig -w runs).
This then leads to unexpected delays (~30s) in e.g. /etc/rc.d/mountall with an
NFS filesystem. (The machine is in ip6mode=host).
I tried the following quick patch to ifconfig(8) so that ifconfig -w waits for
DAD completion only once DAD has started. Does this look like the proper fix?
