Did the link layers associate?  Typing « iwconfig » should indicate the
same BSSID on both stations, and typing « iw dev wlan1 station dump »
should show you the other station.

If the stations associate, a link-local ddress should in principle appear
automatically -- generate-ipv6-address is normally only required on
non-broadcast interfaces (such as some kinds of tunnels or VPNs).  At any
rate, you may find it on my website, as indicated by Antonin.
