[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#644631: network-manager: no removal of ipv6 address and routing when disconnecting an interface

[Vincent Danjean]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.0-2
Severity: normal
Tags: ipv6

  Hi,

  I've a IPv4 and IPv6 network both in my wired and wifi connections. When I
ask NetworkManager to disconnect an inteface ("se déconnecter" entry in
French in the nm gnome applet), it correctly remove the IPv4 (dhcp) address
from the interface. But the IPv6 address (automatic addresses based on a
prefix sent by radvd and the MAC address) is let to the interface with the
associated route (shown by "ip route").
  So, when I plug my RJ45 cable, I got the wired network. But when I ask nm
to stop the wifi connection, I got network problems until I manually remove
the IPv6 address of the wifi network device (and the associated routes).
  nm should really remove IPv6 address and associated routes when asked to
disconnect an interface.

  Regards,
    Vincent
