[sorry for breaking the quoting, hopefully it is clear who said what]

I actually think this is the correct way to do it, as the addresses
(which I assume is what Jóhann is objecting to?) are properties of the
link (similar to mac addresses, mtu, etc) rather than regular ip
addresses that you can configure for normal devices. Or maybe I'm
missing something? Anyone else have any input on this?

If no one else objects I'll merge this (and I'll fix up Zbiginew's
comment as I do so, so no need to resend just for that).

Cheers,

Tom
