            Bug ID: 300571
          Severity: normal
           Version: 1.0
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Network Connections does not offer IPv6 stateless
                    autoconfiguration
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: meta at pobox.com
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: kcm_netpref
           Product: systemsettings

Brand new install of Kubuntu 12.04, went to set up my wireless network.

On the IPv6 Address tab, I am given the following options:

Disabled
Automatic (DHCP)
Automatic (DHCP) address only
Manual
Link-Local
Shared

None of these are correct for my network. For my network, I use the normal IPv6
address allocation option, which is IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
(SLAAC).

So there should be an option added:

Automatic (SLAAC)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a new network connection in System Settings.
2. Go to IPv6 tab.
3. Examine available options.
Actual Results:  
I decided I'd go without IPv6 for the time being, and chose "Disabled".
However, when I go to the command line and enter   ip addr   I discover that
IPv6 isn't disabled; it has been configured via SLAAC and has a 2002:: address.

Expected Results:  
Expected option for stateless autoconfiguration of IPv6 address.

Expected "Disabled" to actually disable IPv6.
