We're already planning on changing these defaults for Oneiric.
However, they won't be changed for Natty because it's already quite
late in the cycle to do so
Okay, that's disappointing to learn.
it's easy for those who know what they are doing to change these
settings.
Clearly. However, the problem is primarily for people that *don't* know
what they're doing. The non-technical John Q. Public types that just
want stuff to work, and are attempting to connect their computer to a
network that is only able to offer IPv6 service.
IPv6 for most will not be very useful and taken care of by other
equipment than the end system running NM.
I don't understand what you mean by this. If Ubuntu cannot connect to an
IPv6 network, sure, that network is obviously not very useful to the
end user.
I fail to see which other equipment you're talking about, though?
Except if the end user has the possibility to reboot into Microsoft
Windows, or if he has sufficient technical skill to debug the problem
and change the correct advanced settings in the NM connection profile,
he will be left completely without a functioning network connection.
What other equipment will help out with this situation?
Best regards,
