I'm not sure of Network Manager works this way, but some other systems
will re-use the last IP they had, as a default.

You are certain the daemon isn't running?

I haven't seen any good information about how Network Manager works, I
wonder if it also uses link-local addresses, internally.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
