 Currently ifconfig configures link-local address on interfaces with no
 link.

 {{{
 <mmlr_thinkpad> it's just buggy/not fully implemented
 <mmlr_thinkpad> it doesn't actually check the link state
 <mmlr_thinkpad> indeed for wireless networks this will have to be reworked
 anyway
 <mmlr_thinkpad> or any network where link != usable
 <mmlr_thinkpad> dailup, vpn for example
 <mmlr_thinkpad> or maybe "link" should be reworked so that it actually
 means usable
 <mmlr_thinkpad> for wireless link usually means an association with an ap
 is there
 <mmlr_thinkpad> for wpa this doesn't mean that the link is actually usable
 though, because the wpa handshake needs to be completed first
 <mmlr_thinkpad> usually you don't notice that as it's rather quick and the
 dhcp requests are simply retried
 <mmlr_thinkpad> it's not exactly correct either way though
