 Over one year gone  I found a bug in your patch: for the if method, you
need to add  | grep -v deprecated to the filter of the ip command. BTW,
wise decision to use ip rather than ifconfig: you have no chance with the
former, afaik.



 Cheers and thanks for the patch!

 Andreas.




Instead of  | grep -v deprecated”, I’ve chosen to use |grep -v temporary
| grep -v inet6 f[cd] to exclude all privacy extension and ULA
addresses, which should leave you with the EUI64 address.

At least in Ubuntu.
