[PATCH 1/2] C/R: Support for IPv6 addresses on network devices

[Dan Smith]

BH> Ok, I don't remember Dave's email.

However, now that I've gone in and done some looking and replacing my
print statements with %pI6, I think it may actually be kept in memory
in network byte order, which means I don't need to switch it.  Does
that sound right? :)

BH> Well, what does an 'ip -6 a' show before and after a checkpoint?

Yeah, I end up with an extra address.  I think ignoring the
link-local ones sounds like a good plan, for now at least.
