Routers should never react on router advertisements. If they do, this is
a security problem because, every client in the network can change the
routing table of the router.

"proto" "static" or "dhcp" is the best criterion determine if IPv6
autoconfiguration should be allowed.

IPv6 autoconfiguration and DHCPv6 is normally implemented together on
the same interface, if DHCPv6 is used. Windows 7 and Vista does it so.
Linux normally don't use DHCPv6 by default.

I think OpenWrt should adopt this behavior (by default).
