Comment (by kallisti5):

 Jeesh.

 This change turned from a little fix to a rewrite *real* quick.

 Attaching the work I have so far...


 This *almost* works, however I am still getting a strange IPv6 address.

 I moved the ConfigLinkLocal call to NetServer from the looper... It seemed
 like a bad place for LinkLocal. (as the looper is only called on
 autoconfig == true)

 always setting up a linklocal address is a good idea because it's not your
 primary ipv6 address. (ipv6 router advertisement or DHCPv6 would be a good
 fit for the looper however)
