Hey guys! This problem still exists on Ubuntu Vivid!
Come on! Ubuntu Desktop is near useless on a network with IPv6 + SLAAC with Routers in H.A. When the main router dies, the slave router becomes active (radvd) but, all Ubuntu Desktops (Gnome / Unity) doesn't see the new IPv6 router. While Windows, Mac, Ubuntu Servers (without NM) and Enlightenment DE with Econnman are working as expected. Please, fix this! Maybe it is time to bring Network Manager 1.0 to Ubuntu. Right now, on my personal machine, I removed network-manager packages and I'm configuring my IPv6 network directly on /etc/network/interfaces, since NM is useless on an IPv6 + SLAAC network with routers in H.A.. Also, my laptop have Econnman, from Enlightenment project. It works like a charm! But it doesn't have support for proxy settings, then, I'm stucked with manual config. :-/ Thanks, Thiago -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1101825 Title: IPv6 static default route added incorrectly by network-manager Status in NetworkManager: Fix Released Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The relevant part of the IPv6 routing table looks like this: fe80::/64 dev wlan0 proto kernel metric 256 default via fe80::5054:ff:fe64:aad0 dev wlan0 proto static metric 1 default via fe80::5054:ff:fe9c:741e dev wlan0 proto kernel metric 1024 expires 8sec default via fe80::5054:ff:fe64:aad0 dev wlan0 proto kernel metric 1024 expires 10sec I believe the proto static metric 1 route is an error, since it persists even when the router stops advertising. This breaks the IPv6 architecture for router redundancy. I am in control of this network and can alter router advertisement parameters if needed.
