Description
I've reported and posted a patch upstream:
https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=2497
Having busybox support the inet6 manual method will allow us to cleanly support IPv6 Static Address Configuration when a router's Router Advertisements (RAs) is enabled.
I'll go ahead and update the wiki page ( at http://www.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Configure_Networking ) as if support were already there, and just leave a note about it until the patch is officially or locally merged.

That's not true; I meant to say that it facilitates allowing the user to cleanly switch back and forth between a Static IPv6 address and IPv6 Stateless Autoconf.
It allows us to enable acceptance of RAs as required for IPv6 Stateless Autoconf, if it was previously disabled by setting a Static IPv6 Address and properly disabling the acceptance of RAs.

It looks like my patch has been applied upstream. Read the updated bug info upstream for details.
I guess we could include it locally until it hits the next release of busybox.

I missed this for the 2.1.0 release due to the missing target version. Sorry.
