Hi all,
I spent several minutes looking for a doco on reporting bugs in the Wiki
but didn't come up with anything (and neither did Google), so here it is.

Sometime since the builds of late 2013 the default IPv6 prefix length has
stopped being 64. In fact, it now appears to rather unreliable.

The default IPv6 prefix length always seems to be 6 when I manually add an
address to an interface, but it seems to be 10 when a link-local address is
automatically assigned. In both cases, the prefix length should be 64. Note
that while link-local addresses are assigned from network block with a
prefix length of 10, link-local addresses are require to have 54 zero bits
after that prefix giving them the effective prefix length of 64.

Cheers,
Lloyd
