gollark: `ip neigh show`, right?
gollark: It says it wants a "prefix", which I assume means `ff00::/8` and stuff, but it also says nothing about that.
gollark: No idea. `ip r list ff02::aeae` doesn't say anything at all about it, but that is also the case for some *working* addresses on the LAN.
gollark: * in one of them
gollark: I'm trying to send packets to `ff02::aeae` port 44718, which is *meant* to be one of the multicast IP ranges for service discovery and stuff.
