Yea I figured -6 was superfluous but I put it in because another commenter made a big deal out of ping vs ping6 (a distinction that's been gone in Arch for a while). I do have a link local address directly on that NIC. I also use VLANs sometimes, but none are configured right now on this link. Slightly edited below to hide my MAC but: $ ip -6 address show dev eth2 | grep link inet6 fe80::aef0:b837:fafa:fefe/64 scope link noprefixroute The same command works fine on my Debian and OpenWRT boxes, but not on my Arch desktop.
