Description

I noticed this on a ubiquiti bullet m5 when using its ethernet interface in bat0. The bat0 interface is part of a bridge, and in recent LEDE (e.g. , reboot-1444-g1bb914d) the bridge's mac address is not matched by its link-local address. Alfred tries to bind that address, fails and exits. Or something. alfred_2016.2-0_mips_34kc.ipk If the eth0 interface is part of the bridge and not the bat0 interface, then the link-local and mac address match and alfred works fine.

# /etc/init.d/alfred restart
/etc/init.d/alfred: waiting 30 secs for br-pub address...
/etc/init.d/alfred: starting alfred
/etc/init.d/alfred: starting batadv-vis
can't connect to unix socket: Connection refused

Manually changing the bridge mac address to match the link-local address allows alfred to start. Also /etc/init.d/network restart ; /etc/init.d/alfred/restart sometimes works. Maybe alfred shouldn't assume it can compute the expected link-local address from the mac address.
