Public bug reported: I tried to configure a connection with automatic IPv4 but static IPv6 since the network has no RA and no DHCP. I add the address, and the gateway. It adds an address but no default route.
% ip -6 addr show 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000 inet6 2001:67c:2219:7::86:54/64 scope global valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::1a03:73ff:fe66:e568/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever % ip -6 route show 2001:67c:2219:7::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 So, obviously, it fails: % ping6 www.afnic.fr connect: Network is unreachable Adding ::/0 in "Routes" changes nothing. A colleague tells me it worked with Maverick, so it may be a regression. PS : the field named "Prefix" should be renamed "Prefix length". PPS : the static IPv6 address does not disappear hen changing the connection.
