 There is strangeness, in image 406. The eth0 interface has IPv6 addresses,
 but the msh0 interface has IPv4.

 The eth0 device has picked up an address off the 'media lab 802.11'
 network, but we aren't currently associated to that network, so IPv6 isn't
 working. I have to bring down eth0 and put back the link-local address on
 msh0 to get IPv6 working.
