Correct; NM won't (yet) try to get IPv6 addresses, though we have some infrastructure to handle IPv6 via LL, router advertisements, and DHCP +/- information only mode, it's not all there. Full IPv6 support will be added in the near future and is a major target for post 0.7 development. NM should not stomp on IPv6 LL addresses that get assigned to the interface however. If it does, it's a bug. Dan _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
