Re: [ipv6] IPv6-only "main" SSID at FOSDEM 2014 trips up Android

Android doesn't expose anything at all about IPv6. If you don't install a terminal app, you'll never even it's there.

All you get is the result of answering "Y" to "IPv6 Support?" in the kernel. And the most annoying bit... absolutely no way to shut the shit off without rooting the device.

good to know.
i've never used an android device. ios hides the same things from you. i've never used it on an ipv6 only network, however.

As of 4.4, you can go into About phone -> Status and see all IP addresses, including link-local.

You're correct it's not configurable, though.

Noted. (dig deep into locations no one even thinks about, instead of putting where you actually configure the network. but then, marking APs as "hotspots" isnt' very logical either.)

That in itself means nothing. The same could be said about iOS.
