Bug description:
  Network manager is sending out a lot of warnings about changing the MTU:
  Sep 25 14:13:03 desktop NetworkManager[703]: <warn>  (wlan0): Lowering IPv6 MTU (1480) to match device MTU (1280)
  Sep 25 14:13:21 desktop NetworkManager[703]: <warn>  (wlan0): Lowering IPv6 MTU (1480) to match device MTU (0)

  Sep 25 14:13:29 desktop NetworkManager[703]: <warn>  (wlan0): Lowering IPv6 MTU (1480) to match device MTU (1280)

  Lowering IPv6 MTU (1480) to match device MTU (1280) repeats about 16
  times between the other messages (about 2 mins round).
