Title:
  use_tempaddr always at 0 after a reboot

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

Bug description:
  I am trying IPv6 and I want to activate the privacy address mechanism.

  I have read everywhere to add "net.ipv6.conf.eth1.use_tempaddr=2" to
  /etc/sysctl.conf.

  What I did. I tried a "sysctl -p" followed by "ifconfig eth1 down" and "ifconfig eth1 up". 
  This worked like a charm.

  But after a reboot, the value of
  /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth1/use_tempaddr is always 0.

  I tried to add those lines :

  net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr=2
  net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr=2

  to /etc/sysctl.conf, but nothing to do, after a reboot, the value of
  /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth1/use_tempaddr is always 0.

  So I could write a script to make  "sysctl -p; ifconfig eth1 down;
  ifconfig eth1 up", but I think there is a bug somewhere no ?
