NetworkManager does not yet support IPv6. I added the gnome bugtracker bug calling for IPv6 support in general to this report. While that bug does not specifically deal with DHCPv6, it is a prerequisite for it, and presumably DHCPv6 support will be added when IPv6 support is finalised.

Also, this is not only for larger networks. I run IPv6 on my small local network, and I would like to be able to do DDNS to automatically register IPv6 addresses in DNS like I do for IPv4. It would have to be something that "just works" however, as I don't want to force friends who come over to install extra software on their machines just to get IPv6 connectivity.

It would definately be good if ubuntu could finally claim to be fully IPv6-compliant out-of-the-box. It's kind of embarrasing that windows has the edge here.
