But the mac doesn't seem to match. Can you find the MAC in your arp cache or DHCP server? Of course, you can always fire up Wireshark to see the actual MAC address and then filter on it to see what IPv4 address might show up. Also, you can look up the MAC address to see who the manufacturer is. http://www.macvendorlookup.com/
To make things easier for you, the link local address fe80::8cae:84ff:fe43:27d4 works out to a MAC address of 8eae:8443:27d4. But it appears to be a locally assigned MAC address, which won't show up in a search. I can tell it's locally assigned because it starts off with "8e", which would be "8c" otherwise. As 8e is an even number, the 8th bit is a 0. If it was a 1, then it would be a multicast MAC address. You can find info on MAC addresses here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address BTW, that 7th bit can make things confusing. In the MAC, it's used to indicate locally assigned MACs. Then in converting to IPv6 link local address, what ever it is gets inverted. The reason for this is so that a locally assigned address will start off with a string of zeros. Bottom line, something is generating a locally assigned address. You'll have to do some detective work to find out what. Since those packets are happening frequently, just set up Wireshark to display only them and then start disconnecting things until they stop. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
