I'm confused. This isn't in the DHCP client, it's in the Router
Advertisement client.

You're confusing me even more - how does the patch relate to ipv6cp?

In ipv6cp, I am assigned a link-local address by the provider. I may be
wrong, but doesn't my peer expect that I use this link-local address in
its routing table in order to communicate with me? This means that I
cannot change the assigned link-local address.

On the other hand, my peer doesn't care which IPv6 address I choose
inside the advertised prefix, and if it is related to the link-local or
not, so this is the address that I can change, and the client is the
only place where I can change it.

If I am wrong, please do not hesitate to enlighten me.
