---------- snip ---------

It is a kernel config - IPV6_PRIVACY - and it is set to "y" in KK so 
you would have to recompile your kernel in order to set it to "n" or 
"m". 

The corresponding proc entry is 
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/lo/use_tempaddr 

and when I "sysctl" or "cat" mine, it returns "-1". (And it is 0 for
wlan0.)

You could sysctl yours to "-1" if it isn't and it might stop the 
"Privacy" messages. (And if it isn't set to "-1" for KK server 
edition, you might want to file a bug report.) 

The values that use_tempaddr can take are

<= 0 disable Privacy Extensions

== 1 enable Privacy Extensions, but prefer public addresses over 
temporary addresses 

> 1 enable Privacy Extensions and prefer temporary addresses over public
addresses

Default 0 (for most devices)

Default -1 (for point-to-point devices and loopback devices)
