An fe80:: IP address is not formally attached to any particular
interface. It "just happens" as part of the autoconfigure regime.

To use one in a listen or bind type statement, you would have to
expressly state which interface you wish to use.

For example, you need to use the argument "-I eth0" (or whatever) before
ping6 will work with an fe80:: address.

Hope this helps
