Btw, I vaguely recall you having had to modify the code to stop showing the IPv6 local-link of wireless devices. Is that correct? If yes, simply reverting this to have all devices show IPv6 local-link would be a suitable fix. It would of course introduce a shift in expected behavior from Bulleseye, but it would at least act consistently for all interfaces. Martin-Éric
