Title: network manager fails IPv4 connection when IPv6 configured to "automatic" Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: In network-manager-gnome 0.8-0ubuntu3 in Ubuntu Netbook, configuring a wired connection with nm-connection-editor, with the IPv4 Settings tab "Method" set to "Manual", and the IPv6 Settings tab "Method" set to "Automatic", then, if NM fails to establish an IPv6 connection, it utterly fails to notice the IPv4 connection configuration, and so, utterly fails to set-up _any_ connection. This does not seem to me like the right thing to do. Certainly, in the connection editor, there is nothing to suggest that an IPv6 configuration will take priority over an IPv4 configuration, and nothing about policy is disclosed to the user of the editor. And neither is it clear that an interface could _not_ have differing IPv4 and IPv6 configurations. So, if there is a viable IPv4 configuration, _use_it_, whether the IPv6 configuration works or not.
