Does nm currently support both stateful and stateless ipv6 address auto configurations? Mentioned below is that the ipv6 infratructure is already done for nm, I wonder what is missing in ipv6 implementation with nm 0.7 RC2 release? I am mostly interested in wired networks.
What is the expected time frame for this full ipv6 feature delivery?

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.
