[Dibbler] Address Autoconfiguration based upon Router Advertisement

Hello,
RFC 2462 5.2 states that hosts should maintain variables ManagedFlag
and OtherConfigFlag on per interface basis. These flags describe the
behavior of the host for stateful autoconfiguration mechanism.
Accordingly if router advertisement on a link has ManagedFlag set and
the host is not already running the stateful address autoconfiguration
protocol, the host should invoke the stateful address autoconfiguration
protocol, requesting both address information and other information.
(section 5.5.3).
Is this behavior observed for dibbler 0.7.2 and linux kernel 2.6.13?
When I run dibbler-client the machine acquires an address from the
server running on the same link even if the router advertisement has
ManagedFlag set. Is there some configuration changes required to make
this work according to RFC?
Thanks,
Lalit.
