freebsd stable - Feb 2009 - What startup script is supposed to handle ipv6_defaultrouter="..."?

On a system running 7.1-STABLE as of early February, cvsup'd with 
tag=RELENG_7 just prior to recompiling the system, setting 
ipv6_defaultrouter="..." in /etc/rc.conf seems to have no effect.
I'm forced to set the IPv6 gateway using commands outside the regular 
startup scripts.

The command

  grep ipv6_defaultrouter /etc/rc.d/*

doesn't give anything useful, either.

I guess /etc/rc.d/network_ipv6 is missing the required code.
Here's the revision string from my /etc/rc.d/network_ipv6:

# $FreeBSD: src/etc/rc.d/network_ipv6,v 1.37 2004/10/07 13:55:26 mtm Exp $

Is this the correct revision number for tag=RELENG_7?

I guess it's in /etc/network.subr


Did you se ipv6_enable="YES" in rc.conf as well?

For the record, here are the IPv6 related variables found in this
particular system's /etc/rc.conf file:

ipv6_enable="YES"
ipv6_defaultrouter="2001:700:XXXX:YYYY::1"
ipv6_ifconfig_em0="2001:700:XXXX:YYYY::24 prefixlen 64"

If I leave out the static address assignment on em0 and the static 
router address, the system gets both an autoconfigurated IPv6 address 
as well as receiving the router's link local IPv6 address and the 
system will use that LL address as the default router.

I'm merely interested in giving em0 a static IPv6 address, and if 
possible leave everything else to be determined by the router's 
advertisement.

Do I need to fiddle with one or more sysctl variables?
