Given the following configuration:
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
gateway 192.168.0.1
address 192.168.0.25
netmask 255.255.255.0
post-up /usr/sbin/avahi-autoipd --force-bind --daemonize --wait $IFACE 2> /dev/null
pre-down /usr/sbin/avahi-autoipd --kill $IFACE 2> /dev/null
I make the machine get a link-local address while still having an static configuration (for when this machine gets connected to LAN). The issue is that for now, it won't be attached to a LAN, I just want to access it using a network cable directly connecting two machines, and communicating through the given link-local addresses. Connection works, I can ssh it:
~ ❯❯❯ ssh [email protected] archlinux ✱

My problem is that I also need to have avahi discovering working, but as can be seen, avahi-browse doesn't list the link-local address, why? How to make it list the link-local address too, since in this case the static configuration (192.168.0.25) is of no use.
