Subject: [PATCH wireguard] wireguard: prevent ipv6 addrconf via IFF_NO_ADDRCONF flag
Date: Sun, 8 Feb 2026 18:05:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260208170545.31942-1-valentin@spreckels.dev> (raw)
Use the flag introduced in commit 8a321cf7becc6 ("net: add
IFF_NO_ADDRCONF and use it in bonding to prevent ipv6 addrconf")
instead of mangling the addr_gen_mode to prevent ipv6 addrconf.
