disabling client use of SLAAC

[Eric Vyncke (evyncke)]

Indeed, the 'ipv6 nd suppress-ra' is only suppressing the periodic RA,
it will not prevent the router to reply to RS.

As written before 'ipv6 nd prefix default no-autoconfig' is probably
what you want to do to disable SLAAC. It works for me for Mac & Windows
XP/Vista
