What are you trying to achieve ?  You mention your provider doesn't
support IPv6 yet but want to make sure neighbour sollicitation works ?
Why do you want to support neighbour discovery when your ISP doesn't
do IPv6 ?

If you don't use IPv6, 'block quick inet6' is quite appropriate
(especially if building a kernel without IPV6 is your alternative).
You may also want to block all tunneled traffic with 'block quick inet
proto ipv6' and disable link-local addresses on your interfaces with
`ifconfig ${INTERFACE} -inet6` (or add '-inet6' to your
/etc/hostname.if files).

Cheers,
