Okay, will do.
Would you prefer the enum to be three-state (like in the patch proposed for the Gnome applet [1]), or four-state including "Unknown", like in libnm-util? The behaviour of "Unknown" used to differ from "Disabled", but this was changed [2] and now I can not find any indication for a difference in behaviour in the sources. As I said above, the docs do not mention "Unknown" at all... but it is the default value.

However, that document says the default value is "-1", while it also says that only 0, 1 and 2 are valid for this option. Therefore, I chose 0 to be the default in the Knm::Ipv6Setting class, but the option is always put into the NM config map - even if it is zero.
