I was just using "-6 --nodhcp6 wm0" as the arguments to dhcpcd.

The same code is in -8 so maybe need to let releng know.

The code is correct.

If dhcpcd is handling the RA (which is the default) then it will disable the kernel handling it. The only downside of this approach is that ndp no longer lists RA's or prefixes.

If you don't want dhcpcd to handle the RA then it will leave the kernel settings alone. The downsides of this approach are no DNSSL or RDNSS or any special handling when wireless gets disconnected or wired gets unplugged or the myriad of stuff dhcpcd does extra.

You don't want both handling it.

If you want to simulate rtsol, put dhcpcd into test mode using the -T
commandline option. Then no kernel options are touched and it works
with a stock. No addressing, routing or config is actually affected by
dhcpcd.

I still build rtsol anyway.

Maybe one change to make to dhcpcd would be to restore the interface flags to their
original values on exit.
