However, this is not the only problem related to IPv6. I just tested
the
F17 Alpha Live CD, and one particular egregious issue is that by
default, the toggle «Require IPv4 addressing for this connection to
complete» is enabled in NM's connection profiles. This essentially means
that IPv6-only networks are not supported out by default. If I try to
connect the F17 Alpha to an IPv6-only WLAN (not making any changes to the
default settings), the connection is successfully activated and remains
fully functional for about 40 seconds, at which point NM gives up on
waiting for replies from the non-existent DHCPv4 server. Then the entire
connection is torn down, IPv6 included, before the process starts over
again in a seemingly endless loop.
Interesting. I'm seeing kind of the inverse problem:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=771130. Could that be
related to the issues discussed in this thread?
