Some BSD systems protect against IPv6 NS/NA messages by ensuring that the
-source address matches an address/prefix on the interface.
-This is an error as the correct check is for on-link prefixes.
-As such, on these systems stateful addressing via DHCPv6 may cause issues
-trying to reach other neighbours.
-BSD systems where this is known to be a problem
- Occured in NetBSD-5.0, fixed in NetBSD-6.99.29
- Occured in OpenBSD-4.2, fixed in OpenBSD-5.0
+source address matches a prefix on the recieved by a RA message.
+This is an error as the correct check is for on-link prefixes as the

We try and detect how dhcpcd should interact with system services at runtime.
If we cannot auto-detect how do to this, or it is wrong then
