Bug Description
[Impact]
* dhcpv6 sets an incorrect netmask on ipv6 networks, leading to probable communication failures in certain networks
[Test Case]
* You need an ipv6 network using dhcpv6 statefull configuration with prefix which is not equal to /64
[Regression Potential]
* None, this patch has been accepted upstream and is available since quantal
network-manager in ubuntu precise use incorrect /64 prefix from dhcpv6 client which cause that internet connection not working on some ipv6 networks. this problem was fixed in upstream network-manager version 0.9.6 which is already available in ubuntu quantal and newer - but not in ubuntu precise. because this is critical problem (non working network/internet) new version of network manager (e.g 0.9.6) or at least patch which fixing this problem should be included in ubuntu precise which is LTS.
