Back on wireless and the route is back:
ifconfig wlan0
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1B:77:43:09:78
inet addr:192.168.171.160 Bcast:192.168.175.255
Mask:255.255.248.0
inet6 addr: fe80::21b:77ff:fe43:978/64 Scope:Link
route -A inet6 -n

So it could be something left over from my home wireless that
NetworkManager did not clear out.
BTW, on my home network I have REAL global v6 addresses. I have my own
/48 prefix.
