Upstream comment on the bug + patch below.

I guess we should include the existing patch for the time being.


Cheers,

Thanks.  Yes link-local addresses with scope_id are not yet supported, but it shouldn't be too hard to make them work.

Your patch simply filters out the addresses with scope_id.  I think we could do better than that and actually start stupporting scoped link-local addresses.  The patch is good enough to keep things running for the time being though...

Thanks again
