Why would you expect to be able to reach your neighbors through
link-local addresses if you have "no IPv6" (which I take to mean 'no
*configured* IPv6', please correct me if I'm wrong here)?
I believe your expectation here is wrong (although it is the current
state of IPv6 on OpenBSD). Can you explain why you disagree?
(sorry to hijack the thread, your remark piqued my interest)
