Hey guys!

 This problem still exists on Ubuntu Vivid!

 Come on! Ubuntu Desktop is near useless on a network with IPv6 + SLAAC with Routers in H.A. When the main router dies, the slave router becomes active (radvd) but, all Ubuntu Desktops (Gnome / Unity) doesn't see the new IPv6 router. While Windows, Mac, Ubuntu Servers (without NM) and Enlightenment DE with Econnman are working as expected.

 Please, fix this! Maybe it is time to bring Network Manager 1.0 to Ubuntu.

 Right now, on my personal machine, I removed network-manager packages and I'm configuring my IPv6 network directly on /etc/network/interfaces, since NM is useless on an IPv6 + SLAAC network with routers in H.A..

 Also, my laptop have Econnman, from Enlightenment project. It works like a charm! But it doesn't have support for proxy settings, then, I'm stucked with manual config. :-/

Thanks,
Thiago
