-inet6 stays no matter what, wether that does setifxflags IFXF_NOINET6 in the back or just removes all inet6 addrs is transparent to the user. how to add linklocal back without the flag is another question, need to come up with something in that case (that is definately not a hard problem tho), since eui64 effectively does nothing but whine if it cannot find a link-local... > I did not talk about -inet6 but about the kernel IFXF_NOINET6 flag. > It is not needed to use a flag on the interface for this.
