I need to acknowledge this too.

For eth0 I had IPv6 set to "automatic, address only" and it worked quite fine until I suspended my notebook and resumed it again.
Then NetworkManager not even configures a valid IPv4 setup because it has trouble with the IPv6 RA announcements.

This is a BIG show stopper!!!

The only way to get a reliable IPv4 connection is to set IPv6 to "ignore" but then however even router advertisements are ignored. And I realy need IPv6!

On the other hand the selectable options are not very clear to me, what do I configure with "automatic" or "automatic, address only"? Statfull or stateless autoconfiguration? The dialog for IPv6 is kind of crap and needs to be clarified. And problems on either IPv4 or IPv6 should never prevent the other from being configured properly.
