That's the address of eth1, not the modem-router. As the kernel has IPv6 |
| 7 |
support built in, it automatically assigns an fe80 address to the initerface, |
| 8 |
constructed from the MAC address. |

Dale could try 'ip neigh show'. It should give something like this: |

That's from this box. The first address is my powerless server; the next is my |
| 18 |
modem-router and the third is my eth0. The last one is the automatically self- |
| 19 |
assigned IPv6 address as I described above. (It consists of the MAC address |
| 20 |
with 'fffe' inserted in the middle and the 54th bit from the right set.) |

I have IPv6 disabled in /etc/conf.d/net at the moment, or I'd have seen a |
| 23 |
couple more addresses from the ip command. |
