I'm trying to figure out how to connect to an IPv6 link-local address,
but I don't know what the value of sin_scope_id is supposed to be for 
the interface in question.  I took a guess that it was a small integer
(I only have two interfaces, including the local interface), but
nothing I've tried works.

How do I find the scope_id for a my Ethernet interface?

Doh! Never mind.

The sockaddr_in6 len field was wrong.  I have a single Ethernet
interface, and I expected it to be scope_id 0 or 1, and it is indeed
1.
