We realize that treating an interface with only an IPv6LL address isn't very useful though, especially since the kernel will assign an LL address whenever the interface is brought IFF_UP, which often happens during boot for various reasons. Therefore, NM 1.0.4 and later have switched to ignoring interface configurations that have only an IPv6LL address, and will use another configured connection instead. We could potentially backport that to 0.9.10, or at least make the patch available to distros.can you show me the affected code-lines? then I could wrapup the patch very quick.
Hi Ingo, the commit which adds this behavior is: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=3bc097b084bcabfc682b532991dd05cbe8e3161a At a quick glance, it shouldn't be too difficult to backport it to 0.9.10; the main difference is that 0.9.10 doesn't have nm-config-data.c; therefore you should add the 'assume_ipv6ll_only' variable and related code to nm-config.c instead.
