I am also currently running Lucid 10.04 and am seeing this problem. At home, I have a dual-stack set up with radvd running on my gateway. With the IPv6 set to automatic, I get both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses at home, but then when I get to the office, I get nothing. The infrastructure at the office has no IPv6. If I set IPv6 to ignore, then I get an IPv4 address.

These should not depend on each other. If IPv4 and IPv6 are both set to automatic, then whenever I plug in my networking cable, it should probe for both and set up whatever it finds. If it finds both, set up dual stack networking. If it finds only IPv4 or only IPv6, set that up and run with it.

How do we get this out of 'Incomplete' state and low priority into the eyes of a developer who cares?
