[PATCH] ip6-manager: Accept RAs when forwarding



This patch makes NM set the "accept_ra" sysctl to 1 rather than 2. This
causes the kernel to process RAs even if it configured to forward IPv6
traffic on the interface in question.

IPv6 forwarding would likely be enabled on a host running virtualised
operating systems with virtualised network adapters, for example. This
should not prevent NM from successfully activating IPv6 on a
NM-controlled interface configured with IPv6 mode Auto.
