Bug Description

$ system-image-cli -i
current build number: 171
device name: m75
channel: ubuntu-touch/vivid-proposed
last update: 2015-04-14 22:23:10
version version: 171

Upon boot, my v6 routes include a default via ccmni0:
$ ip -6 route
fe80::/64 dev wlan0 proto kernel metric 256
default dev ccmni0 proto static metric 1024

Even though there's no v6 address on the device:
$ ip -6 addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
10: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000
    inet6 fe80::3abc:1aff:fe18:b68b/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

This means that hosts that have v6 addresses are tried to be reached via v6, which obviously fails:
> 29% [Connecting to ports.ubuntu.com (2001:67c:1360:8001::18)]

Toggling GSM data loses the default route:

$ ip -6 route
fe80::/64 dev wlan0 proto kernel metric 256

And the connection succeeds via v4.

Attached find a set of logs from network-test-session.

This causes a problem on QtNetwork nm plugin.

The QtNetwork implementation goes throught the connection list and returns the first connection that is set as default for for ipv4 or ipv6 as you can see on this code [1][2].

Since the gsm connection is always the default for ipv6 it will return the gsm connection as default connection even if you are connected over wifi.

Note.

Just removing the rote does not fix the problem on QNetwork since it checks for nm connection properties.

GENERAL.DEFAULT: no
GENERAL.DEFAULT6: yes

To fix that, the nm should not set the gsm connection as default for IPV6.

@Renato

I pushed my first attempt at fixing this to my PPA. The fix involves telling NM that ofono connections should ignore IPv6.

https://launchpad.net/~awe/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

I confirmed that "Default6" is set to false, however it appears that the route still is added. Can you give it a try and see if it resolves the problem for you? If not, I may need to dig deeper into the code.

@Tony
QtNetwork is reporting the correct state after installing your packages.

Thanks
