Networks only show one single ULA as IPv6, ignoring other addresses.
DESCRIPTION
The "Network" section in the "Overview" tab of vanilla Plasma/KDE only shows
one IPv6 address.
This is an issue because IPv6 is built around the assumption that machines can
(and usually do) have a multitude of addresses (LLAs, ULAs and GUAs), including
stable addresses (non-privacy preserving, based on MAC addresses) and temporary
addresses used to connect to the IPv6 internet.
In my case, only my ULA was shown.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect to an IPv6-enabled network
2. Wait until you have multiple addresses (coordinate with your network admin)
3. Open `plasma-systemmonitor`
OBSERVED RESULT
One single IPv6 is shown.
EXPECTED RESULT
All valid IPv6 addresses are shown, more addresses can be unfurled/expanded. At
a minimum, all addresses listed as `mngtmpaddr` by `ip(8)` on Linux should be
shown, as well as all `temporary dynamic` and not `deprecated` addresses. On
long-running systems, this should amount to ~2 or ~4 IPv6 addresses (one
permanent and one temporary for both GUA and, if set up, ULA).
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a
terminal window): Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.26.0
Qt Version: 6.11.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
While there, investigate monospace font usage. Add a "copy to clipboard" button
(IPv6 addresses are a pain to type, and even worse to memorize!).
