Bug Description
Hi,
I have two routable IPv6 Subnets in use. The preference of one over the other is done by configuring radvd on the router to set the "preferred lifetime" to 0 on the one I currently don't want to use by default (but can if I explicitly set the source address e.g. for traceroute).
ip -6 addr show eth2
4: eth2: <BROADCAST,
inet6 2a02:XXXX:
valid_lft 10739sec preferred_lft 0sec
inet6 2001:YYYY:
valid_lft 10739sec preferred_lft 3539sec
inet6 2001:YYYY:
valid_lft 10739sec preferred_lft 3539sec
inet6 fe80::21d:
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
The nm-applet only shows the first address in this list (2a02:XXXX:
I believe the applet should display ALL routable IP-adresse (the link local one is not needed), and ordered by the preference of the OS. In my example, it should be first the "global temporary dynamic", then the "global dynamic" and then the "global deprecated dynamic" address.
