There are no other devices on the network just me and my AP, I don't have
a loop in my network either, I don't see duplicate packets for anything else.
But I will check this when I get home just in case.
The DAD has in the past triggered issues in Debian because the ifupdown
scripts weren't for the IPv6 address to transition from tentative [1].
For now I've decided this is an issue with NetworkManager and raised an
issue [2], hopefully the devs can get to the bottom of this.
