+Subject: [PATCH] Netlink: Ignore RTM_NEWADDR signals from link-local
+
+We only need to go online if we receive a netlink signal that might
+indicate that the external connection might have become available. This
+will never be true for link-local addresses.
+
+Reviewed-by: Jakub Hrozek <jhrozek@redhat.com>
+(cherry picked from commit a9d1b4b61b614a954c784f224b8fe7a47b6dd206)
