Comment (by mmlr):

 Indeed hrev45436 should have disabled this behaviour. So unless
 BNetworkInterface::HasLink() is broken, or the driver at hand does not
 provide the link state via IFM_ACTIVE (or not at all), no configuration
 should happen. I have an unattached rtl81xx device here and invoking
 {{{ifconfig /dev/net/rtl81xx/0 auto-config}}} does nothing as it should.

 I have disabled the ipv6 module here, so I can't comment on that.
