There's also other issues with NM and ppp/pppoe with IPv6. In the service provider space this side of IPv6 is still a moving target with some standards evolving to enable ISPs to push IPv6 subnets out to consumer routers and the like. There's still bugs like [1] to resolve in NM, I know it's closed but that was to open individual bugs and I think there's some bits left to do to properly deal with RFC 5072 for v6 over ppp. Peter [1] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593813 -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
