Linux treats link local addresses as being in a /64: wlan0 [...] inet6 addr: fe80::222:fbff:fe54:9b80/64 Scope:Link [...] While it may be that having bits set in that 54-bit region makes the address technically not a link local address, I think in practice you will see all addresses in fe80::/10 regarded as link local.
