Comment 32 for bug 761558

FYI,

The Fedora project has decided to consider IPv6-only network attachment failing out-of-the-box a release blocker for Fedora 17. And the required patches to fix that is hitting the NetworkManager upstream code as we speak. One significant commit is here:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=4abb300c967705b536cb11303f1c8296a6ca32f0

Dan Williams also just informed me that the patch in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=569078 will also be applied after having been adapted not to apply to WiMAX, mobile broadband, and Bluetooth DUN (because those connection types currently don't support IPv6 anyway). I'll post the commit ID as soon as I see it. That's is all the pieces missing for Ubuntu, as far as I can tell.

I see from the 0.9.3.995+git201203081848.bba834f-0ubuntu1 upload that the network-manager package in Precise is far from frozen, so I'm still hoping that the upstream support for IPv6-only networks, as well as the Fedora project's decision, will persuade you to include the two patches (or simply update to a more recent git snapshot) before Precise goes out the door.
