Both Windows and Linux mark those addresses as temporary, and it seems 
to be possible to detect the difference when listing available 
interfaces. I guess the same is true for other operating systems. This 
would probably have to be done in platform specific code, I don't think 
there is a generic way to deal with this. So it probably won't be 
trivial to get it right 100% of the time.
