      I have rebooted my box and then noticed that radvd was not running because of this empty config file:

      [2.1-BETA0][root@box]/root(1): cat /var/etc/radvd.conf 
      # Automatically Generated, do not edit
      [2.1-BETA0][root@box]/root(2):
      

      After re-saving the LAN interface without changing anything:

      [2.1-BETA0][root@box]/root(2): cat /var/etc/radvd.conf
      # Automatically Generated, do not edit
      # Generated for DHCPv6 Server lan
      interface em0 {
              AdvSendAdvert on;
              MinRtrAdvInterval 5;
              MaxRtrAdvInterval 20;
              AdvLinkMTU 1280;
              AdvDefaultPreference medium;
              prefix x:y:1014:215:0:0:0:0/64 {
                      DeprecatePrefix on;
                      AdvOnLink on;
                      AdvAutonomous on;
                      AdvRouterAddr on;
              };
              route ::/0 {
                      RemoveRoute on;
              };
              RDNSS x:y:1014:215:222:4dff:fe6b:73fc { };
              DNSSL localdomain { };
      };
      

      I am running:
      2.1-BETA0 (i386)
      built on Tue Sep 4 16:39:17 EDT 2012
      FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p4

      Normally I would have said the problem was with this build, but I have just upgraded from an August 23rd build that had the same issue.
