I'm not sure if this is the right approach. Is ::1 the only inet6 line in your ifconfig?

No, I have fe80 addresses on all the interfaces and those are properly excluded.

Sometimes ::1 is on lo1 and not lo0, but it should always see my inet6 addresses starting with 2600 first and it doesn't pick them up. It always takes the ::1 as the default address for some strange reason.

On a very vanilla out-of-the-box FreeBSD install with IPv6 enabled Chef will pick up ::1 as the IPv6 address. This is the only way I found to fix it.

iface[cint][:addresses] ||= Mash.new
if $4.empty?
iface[cint][:addresses][$1] = { "family" => "inet6", "prefixlen" => $3 }
