Title:
  NM disables accept_ra for an IPv6 connection, where it should enable
  it!

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Guys,

  I just installed Ubuntu 15.04 on a brand new Dell E7440 Laptop and
  Network Manager disable the Router Advertisement for my IPv6
  connection!

  My connection settings for both wired and WiFi have:

  Edit Connection -> Edit Settings -> IPv6 Settings -> Method =
  Automatic

  But, take a look:

  ---
  root@ultra:~# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/wlan0/accept_ra
  0
  root@ultra:~# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/accept_ra
  0
  ---

  So, my IPv6 connection doesn't work. I need to manually re-enable it,
  by running:

  ---
  echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/wlan0/accept_ra
  ---

  Then, my IPv6 works again! Everytime I reconnect to a network, I need
  to "echo 1 > accept_ra" again... Very annoying.

  Please, help!

  Thanks in advance...

  Cheers!
  Thiago
