With 0.9.9.0-11.git20130913.fc21 I see nm-applet show that it's trying to connect, I see it connect to my ipv4 wireless, but then it disconnects and just cycles endlessly. If I change the ipv6 setting from 'automatic' to 'ignore' it connects fine to ipv4 and works. These seem to be possibly related: Sep 14 12:57:32 jelerak.scrye.com NetworkManager[15333]: <info> Activation (wlp3s0) Stage 5 of 5 (IP v6 Commit) complete.

It might help if you attach the logs showing the whole connection activation attempt. Also, can you list the details of the connection you are activating: $ nmcli con show conf "name of your connection"

I ran across somebody on IRC the other day with this same problem. It turned out his radvd options were the culprit, I think: (12:49:09 PM) prahal: dcbw: sorted out the issue from yesterday thanks to your debug patch . On the radvd box I add prefix <...>::1/64 (ending up as needle) instead of prefix <...>::/64 (which was what was in the haystack), thanks The problem is that the NDP-calculated route that NetworkManager adds to the kernel gets changed somehow by the kernel or libnl3, and thus after adding the route when NetworkManager asks the kernel for the version the kernel is actually using, they don't match (the refresh_object() problem). Could people with this problem check what their IPv6 router is actually broadcasting for a prefix?
Bingo. Exactly the problem here. ;) ipv6 now works fine with the new NM. i am getting "Could not start connection: wrong plugin state 3" from my vpn plugins now, but thats a seperate issue. ;)

Excellent, nice to know, I think I'll keep this bug open though as it appears that people are hitting it pretty often. It's odd that radvd doesn't appear to care about a supposedly invalid configuration. > i am getting "Could not start connection: wrong plugin state 3" from my vpn > plugins now, but thats a seperate issue. ;) That's something we screwed up recently and subsequently fixed upstream, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708255 .
Pavel, any thoughts on this? Can we somehow fix this up in the platform so that we match whatever fixup the kernel is doing? Could it be that in src/rdisc/nm-lndp-rdisc.c here: /* Device route */ memset (&route, 0, sizeof (route)); ---> route.network = *ndp_msg_opt_prefix (msg, offset); route.plen = ndp_msg_opt_prefix_len (msg, offset); route.timestamp = now; NetworkManager needs to mask off the lower <prefix> bits to ensure that mis-configured prefixes are fixed up to only represent the network bits?

I'm ok with masking off the route network right in the nm-lndp-rdisc code and possibly adding a simple check to nm-platform.
Pavel, any chance you could do a patch for that?
(In reply to Dan Williams from comment #12) > Pavel, any chance you could do a patch for that? Started an upstream bug. I'll prepare a patch but I don't yet know when. Assiging to myself as it's a Fedora bug and I'll be working on the solution.
For reference: the upstream bug is https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709230
(In reply to Thomas Haller from comment #14) > For reference: the upstream bug is > https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709230 It's actually in the 'External Trackers' section at the top of this bugzilla page.
Upstream branch dcbw/rh1008104-bgo709230-rdisc-prefix-mask for review.
