Hi Ingo,

the commit which adds this behavior is:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=3bc097b084bcabfc682b532991dd05cbe8e3161a

At a quick glance, it shouldn't be too difficult to backport it to
0.9.10; the main difference is that 0.9.10 doesn't have
nm-config-data.c; therefore you should add the 'assume_ipv6ll_only'
variable and related code to nm-config.c instead.
