You also need to delete all addresses assigned by SLAAC, because they
will usually take very long to expire, thus my flush idea.

We should probably do this:

ip addr flush dev $IF scope host
ip addr flush dev $IF scope site
ip addr flush dev $IF scope global

This will flush everything except for the link-local address.
