I can confirm I'm getting the same issue. (Running Jessie/Sid, with
network-manager Version: 0.9.4.0-10)
It appears that network manager will directly change the sysctl values
like thus:
# sysctl -A |grep -i hop_limit
net.ipv6.conf.all.hop_limit = 64
net.ipv6.conf.default.hop_limit = 64
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.hop_limit = 0
net.ipv6.conf.lo.hop_limit = 64
net.ipv6.conf.wlan0.hop_limit = 0
Once reset using a script or sysctl -w directly, once the interface is
brought back up (unplugged-replugged or wifi reconnect) it will reset
the value from 64 (or whatever) back to 0
I've had a look through the RedHat/Gnome NetworkManager git tree, but
cannot see any fix for this as yet. I have been unable to confirm if its
an issue with their source or if its a debian patch that has introduced
this.
Regards, Yinette.
