Bug Description
The relevant part of the IPv6 routing table looks like this:
fe80::/64 dev wlan0 proto kernel metric 256
default via fe80::5054:
default via fe80::5054:
default via fe80::5054:
I believe the proto static metric 1 route is an error, since it persists even when the router stops advertising. This breaks the IPv6 architecture for router redundancy.
I am in control of this network and can alter router advertisement parameters if needed.
