I thought we also supported RFC 3927 link-local IP addressing as well,
but I can't find my USB to Ethernet device, and I only had one.  ;-}

If RFC 3927 "zeroconf" method works, then two laptops can be connected
by an ethernet cable.

Connection to a network without a DHCP server, and without any other
link-local configuring hosts, would not work.
