Unfortunately this IPv6 addressing scheme isn't portable. Windows Vista
will create link local addresses which are completely random, not based
on the MAC address.

I wonder if there's a way todo something more clever for IPv6 to learn
the addresses, we as do for IPv4 address learning, or snoop route
advertisment traffic as we do for DHCP
