Usually, but not always. For example, the link local address for my router is fe80::1:1. I would tempted to bet it has both the "regular" fe80::mac:addr and that simple address. That is how we do the routing in the datacentre and the office.
Ifconfig shows only one: inet6 fe80::1:1%bge0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
Wireshark shows the same thing, only fe80::1:1
With openSUSE, afaict systems always get the fe80::mac:addr, and then I assign e.g. "fe80::1" as a 2nd address. For e.g. transparant http proxying, we use fe80::28 -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.0°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
