Allegedly, on or about 20 August 2016, Angelo Moreschini sent:

> enp4s0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
> ether 60:02:92:2d:2a:1f txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)

Going by the device name, enp4s0 would be wired ethernet, but not in use
(because it had no assigned addresses, that string of hex would be the
MAC), despite the description saying "UP".

> lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536
> inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0
> inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10<host>

Localhost (internal networking, within the computer, itself).  "lo" is
the expected device name for this, and its up and running on the normal
localhost addresses.

> wlp3s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
> inet 10.0.0.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255
> inet6 fe80::d253:49ff:fe32:3254 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
> ether d0:53:49:32:32:54 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)

Again, going by the device name, I would have said wlp3s0 would have
been a wireless interface, but I've not come across gigabit wireless.
This one has IPv4 and IPv6 addresses assigned.

To connected to this computer within a LAN, you can use either of those
addresses.  But...  To use IPv6 your other computer has to have IPv6,
too, and all the networking gadgets in between them.  And, in either
case, the firewall needs to let the connection through.  Generally
speaking, firewalling for IPv4 and IPv6 is handled separately, though
there could be a common configurating tool.  Also, you may need to allow
SSH with the SELinux configurator tool

Is this a laptop or a desktop computer?  Laptops frequently have
wireless and wired networking built into them.  Desktops typically only
have one, but if you've installed a card, there could also be a
motherboard ethernet, even if it doesn't come out to an obvious socket.

Modern device names tend to be some kind of abbreviation related to the
hardware.  One of mine is p3p1, meaning a card plugged into PCI slot 3,
using the 1st (and only) ethernet port on the card.  I do not know how
the abbreviations are derived for your PC.  It could be making use of a
manufacturer's name.

Boilerplate:  All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is
no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages
posted to the mailing list.

I don't think it's pure coincidence that "officialdom" sounds the same
as "official dumb."
