Hello there!

I'm trying to get IPv6 working on my network behind my new pfsense
box. I'm running slaac-only right now. When I run dhcpcd
7.0.8.r16.gd703ebf5-1 (i.e. dhcpcd-git on the AUR), dhcpcd fails when
trying to add the address to the adapter. All the other things like
routes and dns servers add fine. I can manually add the exact same
address which dhcpcd tried to add to the adapter myself, and it works
fine and routes. Even after adding the address manually, dhcpcd is
stuck in a loop trying to add the address and failing.

This is an important clue.
I'm extremely confident dhcpcd was compiled with newer headers than what your kernel supports.

Try compiling it from source, should work fine.
Let us know how it works for you!
