That's not what I meant. By "update", I meant a firmware update -
something that required access to the internet itself, by the device.

* grab a real ipv6 address
* opkg update; opkg upgrade
* go dark to the internet again and use a ULA for myself

Do I really, really, really, really always need my lightbulbs to be
globally reachable from the internet?

(and btw, these lightbulbs take telnet, over ipv6, on port 22. I
bought some, because mjg has so thoroughly documented the "features"
of the device that I could hack them up for my own purposes. They are
quite fun now)
