ConnMan actually supports ipv6 now, and they are working to make the implementation better. As you said, the applet on the MeeGo netbook unfortunately doesn't give people the options needed for ipv6. So, this is more of a user interface issue, rather than a core application deficiency. This doesn't reduce the need to get it fixed, but it should be relatively easy to add support in the interface for ipv6, since it is already supported in ConnMan.
