No idea how it picks the interface when there's more than one. The interface seems mandatory for ssh for me: tim@einstein(4):~ (none)$ ssh fe80::1 ssh: connect to host fe80::1 port 22: Invalid argument tim@einstein(4):~ (none)$
You actually have an fe80::1 IP address on your system? That would be highly unusual. If you don't, why would you expect it to respond?
