Description Pavel Simerda 2012-07-31 09:42:54 UTC 
NetworkManager in git and in the upcoming 0.9.6 release supports IPv6 autoconfiguration through any sane combination of router advertisements
and DHCP. It doesn't take into account some information from router
advertisements when configuration is finished.

More specifically, NM currently breaks changing gateways and it doesn't deconfigure when there is no longer any gateway available.

Plus, if NM creates copies of routes to ensure preference, it should also
track the original route and never keem the copy when the original disappears.

NM bugzilla reorganization. Sorry for the bug spam.
Comment 3 Pavel Simerda 2013-06-17 08:11:50 UTC 
This bug report should be solved by development done for bug #699772.
Comment 4 Pavel Simerda 2013-07-30 16:19:45 UTC 
Git master is now fully prepared for this feature. But we still need to test a couple of scenarios and see whether it works properly.
Comment 5 Pavel Simerda 2013-08-13 18:16:00 UTC 
OK, leaving the testing for new quick fixes or bug reports, for the purpose of this bug report, I'm assuming it now works propery with src/rdisc in place.
