Bug Description

As described in the upstream bug report https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1207730, network-manager can cause a continuous IPv6 router solicitation loop. In my specific case, a large number of computers running network-manager are on the network. The resulting storm of traffic overloads the router and knocks computers not running network-manager off of IPv6. Could the fix please be backported? Thanks!
