Ideally Ubuntu would have a PPA for the latest git master, which they
have had at some point, but that might be tracking the 0.8.x (stable)
branch now and not the 0.9 code.  HOwever, there is:

http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/developers/

which has a quick guide to grabbing the sources.  You may encounter
configure errors, but those are usually missing -dev packages.

That's great, we need more testing of NM with IPv6.  The more the
better.  Dont' hesitate to ask if you have any problems or questions!
