That is still the case for Fedora 14 with all updates :(
I had to disable it. That in itself is hard because the connection
(since it has only failed) shows up at the BOTTOM of the network manager
wireless networks, since it is sorted on "last connection" which does
not take failed connections into account ("never" is sorted to the bottom)
I think it would be much better to keep failed but just attempted connections
at the top of the list in network manager, if the sort order is connection time
and not alphabetical.

I can confirm this is still an issue and I've updated the bug to reflect that.
Stopping the firewall did not help me on ietf-v6ONLY though. I still got not
DNS entry in /etc/resolv.conf and on top of that my routing seemed to not have
a working default route.

So, IPv6only is better then it was one or two fedora releases ago, but it seems
to not
be fully working on Fedora-14, and from listening to other people, has not
fully been
resolved on Fedora-15 either....
