Package: network-manager Version: 0.9.4.0-3 Severity: important Tags: ipv6 Dear Maintainer,
One of the changes in a recent release was that "IPv6 Privacy Extensions are now enabled by default for new connections". While this is true, and a very good idea, it has introduced an annoying regression for existing connections carried over from a previous version, resulting in disabled Privacy Extensions where they were previously enabled. It appears that when ip6-privacy is not defined, it defaults to 0. I believe that it should default to nothing at all and leave the sysctl value at whatever value was set without the help of NetworkManager. Users who had enabled IPv6 Privacy Extensions will probably have done so by adding a manual sysctl for net.ipv6.conf.*.use_tempaddr; the current NetworkManager overrides this value, possibly disabling previously perfectly functioning IPv6 Privacy Extensions. The problem is made worse by the current Gnome 3 thing not having any GUI elements to change this setting, or to delete a connection profile. Or at least I couldn't find them. Removing the connection profile file helps (the new one will be created with ip6-privacy=2 in it), as does adding ip6-privacy=2 manually.
