System Monitor reports link local IPv6 address when global address exists

The problem

The systemmonitor.ipv6_address on wlan0 is reported as fe80::…, which is a fixed address with scope link that never changes.

The more interesting IPv6 address is the scope global address, which due to upstream internet provider’s address assignment changes from time to time.

ifconfig -a lists both addresses, the link local one is listed first, followed by the global address.

The code from this integration could be rewrite to use the work @bdraco did on the network integration. I think that it will solve this issue as it should be possible to get the link local IP address and the global one’s

no fixes for that yet?
