IPv6 in NetworkManager

[j bootlab org]

hi,

caused anger again to plug in a wire and loose the ipv6 connection,
it works nice with wireless networks, but does not with wired NICs.

attached patch will down/up wired NICs to let them get a IPv6 address
from a Router ADVertisement Daemon. I understand that this could 
cause problems with some wireless NICs, but since this only applies for
wired NICs, it should be fine.
