There is kind of a conflict on RA handling between dnsmasq and 6relayd
going on - back in january, dnsmasq was "winning", and the default. Since
then the 6relayd stuff has evolved something considerable, and I have not
looked into changing things around, nor how they should be changed around.

Try disabling dnsmasq's RA handling.
