Description Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre 2011-09-24 01:49:41 UTC
I've noticed errors adding IPv6 routes in general from libnl:

"Missing attribute"

Unfortunately, I don't know what additional attribute might be required for IPv6, so currently unable to provide a patch.

For the default route, pass 2 appears to properly do the job but I suspect this should be fixed:

Sep 23 19:53:46 gaea NetworkManager[844]: <warn> Failed to add route Missing attribute
Sep 23 19:53:46 gaea NetworkManager[844]: <error> [1316822026.287427] [nm-system.c:1041] nm_system_replace_default_ip6_route(): (wlan0): failed to set IPv6 default route: -1

There's a similar issue but with an "object not found" error for the IPv6 multicast route before starting dhcpv6:

Sep 23 19:53:42 gaea NetworkManager[844]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 3 of 5 (IP Configure Start) starting DHCPv6 as requested by IPv6 router...

I hope that's been fixed in libnl now.
