My wireless interface does not get assigned an IPv6 link local address (which I am guessing should never be the case). I get to see the correct link-local once in a while but it vanishes after a reboot or network restart. I am using wpa_supplicant with nl80211 driver. I can connect two devices using p2p (wifi direct) and I wish to be able to ping one from another using the link-local IPv6 address.
@modulitos To find the number of a given ssid, you can grep for it in non-interactive mode like so wpa_cli list_networks | grep ssid

@LukeSwart That 125 limit sounds awful, have you reported these issues to hostap yet? That surely sounds like a bug, and moreover I agree that the requirement for associated numbers instead of SSID seems like very poor UI design.
