On a more serious note, I can on my Ubuntu machine just "apt-get

resolv.conf for dns-over-ipv6 transport, even though the connection
manager knows nothing about it, at least dual stack works properly.
This is finally getting fixed now. NetworkManager 0.8.3, to be
shipped
in the upcoming Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty) seems to do the right thing,
including using the OtherConfig-Flag in RA to trigger a stateless
DHCPv6
request. Haven't tested stateful yet.
I've tested stateful configuration and it works correctly (with
stateless/stateful and stateful only) in NetworkManager with ISC DHCP 4.
The DHCP client uses a dynamic DUID based on the link-local address and
time. That's not quite as flexible as WIDE or Dibbler.
