Thank you for your response! Unfortunately, my extra network ports  
are firewire. I am using the eth1394 module.

When I do:
	avahi-autoipd eth0
I get:
	getsockname() returned invalid hardware address.

FWIW mac osx functions properly for generating link-local addresses  
on firewire networks...

I can dive in to try fix this if you wish.. Just point me in the  
right direction..
