#415 new Feature Wish
IPv6 link-local address handling in tun mode

Description
Right now, IPv6 link-local addresses (source fe80:xxx) are not handled "as the standards require" - which is usually not a problem as the tun interfaces are seen as point-to-point, needing no neighbour discovery, etc.
If we ever want to support things like DHCPv6 over multipoint tun, or more dynamic routing, etc., the p2pm server needs to support source address learning for fe80:: addresses (configurable?).
Commit 70f1864188ad00451683cabf51e56b7730250c40 at least silences the quite annoying warning about invalid source addresses for fe80:: but leaves open the actual handling. For 2.4...

And bumping again. There is no pressing need, 2.5 is in beta phase already, so no "major new features".
To 2.6

famous last words ("For 2.4"). This is not going to make 2.4 - lots of work, across lots of platforms.
Bumping to 2.5
