network-manager:
  Installed: 0.8~a~git.20091013t193206.679d548-0ubuntu1

IPv6 set to "ignore" in the connection editor.
The router is running radvd.

I *am* getting RA IPv6 address. As far as I understand, this is done by the
kernel without the help of networkmanager or any other userspace. Actually, it
works quite well *unless* I try to configure anything IPv6 related in the
connection editor, as I have posted earlier ("Additional IPv6 address").

About the original question: isn't there any way to specify metric on the routes
that would make the kernel always "prefer" the Ethernet interface?
