Well, the bug I'm trying to fix; when both A=1 and M=1, you get a seemingly successful activation followed by an instant failure, over and over and over again; is very real and needs to be fixed. Stock NM takes forever to connect to my home network because of it, see <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=720188> for a syslog. The patch fixes the A=1, M=1 case. However it inadvertently breaks the A=0, M=1 case, so it should *not* be applied. A new and better patch should be developed, which may involve a more thorough revision of how NM reacts to various types of RAs. I'll elaborate more on this in an answer to your other message.
