freebsd stable - Aug 2013 - 9.2-RC1, nfe, auto_linklocal : ioctl(SIOCGIFINFO_IN6): Invalid argument

Hi,

I've noticed that with 9.2-RC1, I cannot set/unset the auto_locallink flag
on the nfe network interface on my laptop:

# ifconfig nfe0 -auto_linklocal
ifconfig: ioctl(SIOCGIFINFO_IN6): Invalid argument

The error is also raised at boot if net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal sysctl is set
to 0.

I can't test for now if this problem was also present in 9.1 (I've just
began to use this flag instead of removing local addresses in rc.conf), but I
can give more information if given the commands/files to read.

I think you should use `ifconfig nfe0 inet6 -auto_linklocal`.
