Comment(by mstone):

 The evidence is simply that I ran it through pdb and discovered that the
 connect() call with ipv4 addresses uniformly failed. Try it yourself;
 perhaps you'll get a different result. It's entirely possible that my test
 methodology is broken.

 Anyway, "incompatible access points" is a completely bogus objection for
 _this specific bug_ because this bug is about pulling leases over the
 mesh, which certainly supports IPv6, not over APs. (Moreover, aren't
 access points pure layer 2 devices? If so, wouldn't they see only ethernet
 frames? Perhaps Martin meant routers with APs attached?)

 Finally, while I agree that it should be easy to fix ipv4, it's even
 easier to _remove dead code_. Do we have a customer who demands IPv4
 support?
