Please please cherry pick the patch from gnome bugzilla and apply it to
vivid

This bug makes most IPv6 connections unusable without manual
intervention (either setting the hop limit on each router that does not
set that in RAs - most!) or manually changing the limit after every
connection.

I wouldn't say it's critical (most of us still have IPv4 access too :),
but it's definitely a High importance bug.

Title:
  IPv6 hop limit set to 0

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On upgrading from Ubuntu 14.10 to 15.04 I found that my IPv6
  networking no longer worked. It turned out that this was because my
  hop limit was set to zero:

  # sysctl -a | fgrep eth0.hop_limit
  net.ipv6.conf.eth0.hop_limit = 0

  which in turn seems to have been cause by a known problem in the
  network manager:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=756534
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737252

  Since this has already been fixed in the GNOME project, can Ubuntu
  15.04 please take the upstream fix?
