[Bug 1450066] Re: IPv6 hop limit set to 0
Please please cherry pick the patch from gnome bugzilla and apply it to
vivid
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=6a79acb0
This bug makes most IPv6 connections unusable without manual
intervention (either setting the hop limit on each router that does not
set that in RAs - most!) or manually changing the limit after every
connection.
I wouldn't say it's critical (most of us still have IPv4 access too :),
but it's definitely a High importance bug.

Title:
IPv6 hop limit set to 0
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On upgrading from Ubuntu 14.10 to 15.04 I found that my IPv6
networking no longer worked. It turned out that this was because my
hop limit was set to zero:
# sysctl -a | fgrep eth0.hop_limit
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.hop_limit = 0
which in turn seems to have been cause by a known problem in the
network manager:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=756534
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737252
Since this has already been fixed in the GNOME project, can Ubuntu
15.04 please take the upstream fix?
