What's the purpose of use_tempaddr=1 kernel parameter?
Reading sysctl docs, I found the following:
use_tempaddr - INTEGER
Preference for Privacy Extensions (RFC3041).
<= 0 : disable Privacy Extensions
== 1 : enable Privacy Extensions, but prefer public
addresses over temporary addresses.
> 1 : enable Privacy Extensions and prefer temporary
addresses over public addresses.
Default: 0 (for most devices)
-1 (for point-to-point devices and loopback devices)
So, when I set the use_tempaddr parameter to 0 , the Privacy Extensions are disabled, which means no temp addresses are used. When set to 2 , the Privacy Extension are enabled, and hence temp addresses are used. But when I set use_tempaddr to 1 the Privacy Extension are enabled but the temp addresses aren't used... So what's the purpose of having the three options, when only two of them make sense? What's the use case for use_tempaddr set to 1 ?
