[Bug 832045] Re: NM fails to add IPv6 routes with netlink errors

 

Well, I had opened this bug due to a different issue.

I'll close this as Fix Released now because AFAICT, everything is fine
on the system here. It definitely is here, IPv6 is absolutely usable in
DHCPv6 (and really should be in SLAAC too).

Robie, please open a separate bug using 'ubuntu-bug network-manager' and
include the output of 'ip -6 route list' before making any changes to
the connection so we can confirm exactly what's going on. Maybe it's
specific to some settings I'm not using here. (although we really should
have caught this in the testing that was done prior to uploading the
patches).

Note that the error message "missing attribute" is kind of normal and
should be covered by a second pass of trying to replace the default
route.

** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released
