There is a patch exists that fixes this problem, but against more recent version of NetworkManager: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681764#c20 I tried to adapt it to 1.0.4 currently present in Ubuntu (and it works for me). However, further testing needed.

Recent versions of OpenWRT behave in this manner for DHCPv6. Network Manager is handling this *almost* correctly. Both addresses get applied, just not simultaneously as would be expected. The dhclient process is seeing both addresses, and both get processed by the handler, but is handled as though there were two seperate requests, applies the first address, promptly removes it, and replaces it with the second address, resulting in only the latter address persisting after interface setup. After adding the following to the upstart config for network manager, you can easily follow the mishandling of the response: --log-level=debug --log-domains=DEVICE,IP6,DHCP6 The following are key lines from the debug logging: Jun 20 23:21:16 pinky-linux NetworkManager[6244]: <debug> [1434856876.790352] [nm-system.c:280] sync_addresses(): (wlan0): adding address '2607:xxxx:xxxx:ad10::61/128' ... Jun 20 23:21:17 pinky-linux NetworkManager[6244]: <debug> [1434856877.837130] [nm-system.c:247] sync_addresses(): (wlan0): removing address '2607:xxxx:xxxx:ad10::61/128' Jun 20 23:21:17 pinky-linux NetworkManager[6244]: <debug> [1434856877.837526] [nm-system.c:280] sync_addresses(): (wlan0): adding address 'fd5b:xxxx:xxxx:10::61/128' In this case the global prefixed address was applied, then immediately replaced by the ULA prefixed one. So it's correctly parsing both addresses of the response as supplied by dhclient, but the end result is not what is expected for the given configuration sent from the server. The correct behaviour is to add/replace all addresses in the response as a set. This negates much of the usefulness of supporting DHCPv6, and is an impediment to integration with IPv6 networks requiring it's use.
