ifconfig lists IPv6 twice for one WG interface
Hello,
I'm facing a strange issue where "ifconfig" shows the IPv6 twice for one particular WG interface. Other similar interfaces on the same machine aren't affected. Can't pinpoint what's special about this one yet.
The IP is not added twice during interface setup. Adding it once more, as expected results in
# ip -6 addr add fd39:aa:3dc2:a78a:7900:fcd:12a3:6181/64 dev wgw RTNETLINK answers: File exists
The "ip" tool doesn't list the address twice:
# ip a l dev wgw
44: wgw: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1432 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link/none
inet6 fd39:aa:3dc2:a78a:7900:fcd:12a3:6181/64 scope global
valid_lft forever preferred_lft foreverBut please no comments about "ifconfig" being deprecated, I prefer to keep using it for certain tasks.
Now adding some debug print to my interface creation script, with:
ifconfig $IFACE ip -6 addr add $MYIP/64 dev $IFACE || exit 1 ifconfig $IFACE
This results in such output:
wgw Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

Overall this doesn't seem to break anything, but might be a sign of something not gong entirely right under the hood. Anyone seen the same thing?
