Title:
  IPv6 static configuration does not set the default route

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I tried to configure a connection with automatic IPv4 but static IPv6
  since the network has no RA and no DHCP. I add the address, and the
  gateway. It adds an address but no default route.

  % ip -6 addr show
  1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 
      inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
         valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
  2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000
      inet6 2001:67c:2219:7::86:54/64 scope global 
         valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
      inet6 fe80::1a03:73ff:fe66:e568/64 scope link 
         valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

  % ip -6 route show
  2001:67c:2219:7::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256 
  fe80::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256 

  So, obviously, it fails:

  % ping6 www.afnic.fr
  connect: Network is unreachable

  Adding ::/0 in "Routes" changes nothing.

  A colleague tells me it worked with Maverick, so it may be a
  regression.

  
  PS : the field named "Prefix" should be renamed "Prefix length".

  PPS : the static IPv6 address does not disappear hen changing the
  connection.
