+.It Ar disable-ipv6
+Disable negotiation of the IPv6 network control protocol. Since every
+IPv4 interface in an IPv6-enabled kernel automatically gets an IPv6
+address assigned, this option provides for a way to administratively
+prevent the link from attempting to negotiate IPv6. Note that
+initialization of an IPv6 interface causes a multicast packet to be
+sent, which can cause unwanted traffic costs (for dial-on-demand
+interfaces).
