Title:
  IPv6 static routes without gateway fail to be set

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When using network-manager, and specifying the IPv6 routes, I am able
  to enter and save IPv6 Settings static routes with no gateway or
  metric. Upon hitting "save", the dialog closes apparently successfully
  but this entry appears in the syslog (actual address defaced):

  Apr 25 19:28:26 zanfur-fb NetworkManager[7181]: keyfile: ipv6.route2: route defa:cede:face:defa::/64 gateway 0 metric 0
  Apr 25 19:28:26 zanfur-fb NetworkManager[7181]: build_ip6_address_or_route: ignoring invalid IPv6 gateway '0'

  Additionally, upon opening the connection again through the same
  dialog, the routes are empty.  Checking the connection file in
  /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections, the routes are unlisted.  When
  editing the connection file directly, upon saving I see a similar
  syslog entry, even when I put '::' in for the gateway.  When I leave
  it as a zero-width string, the message says '' instead of '0' but is
  otherwise the same.

  When attempting to connect, the connection completes just fine but the
  route is of course ignored.

  EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:

  Able to save ipv6 routes with no gateway, and have them established
  upon connection (e.g. for VPN connections, where there is typically no
  gateway other than the VPN endpont itself).

  ACTUAL BEHAVIOR:

  IPv6 routes without a gateway are silently dropped from the config.

  SYSTEM:

  Ubuntu trusty tahr 14.04, network-manager 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu7, network-
  manager-openconnect-gnome 0.9.8.0-1ubuntu2, kernel "3.13.0-24-generic
  #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 10 19:11:08 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64
  GNU/Linux".  Running on a Lenovo T440s, though that doesn't much
  matter here.
