Description

It has been reported that ipaddrv6 tag for an interface has just "FE80" in it in some pre-2.3 configs:
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=109688.msg621286#msg621286
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=111080.msg621838#msg621838
and maybe in other threads?

When upgrading to 2.3 these cause problems. The tag should be empty rather than containing "FE80".

This needs to be looked into an perhaps provide upgrade code to check for this case and fix it.

I am not sure how this comes about, but I don't think it has been logged in Redmine yet. I put target version 2.3.1 so someone sees this and can change it to whatever is appropriate at this point.
