Network manager does not have support for IPv6 on PPPoE connections

[Erik B. Andersen]

Binary package hint: network-manager

The IPv4 address space is exhausted at the top level. ISPs soon will (at least I hope instead of Carrier level NAT) start using IPv6, necessitating support for IPv6 on PPPoE connections.
Right now nm-connection-editor only shows the IPv6 page for ethernet and wifi
connections.
IPv6 over PPP apparently exists (RFC 5072 http://tools.ietf.org/html//rfc5072).
See also https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593813, which is about IPv6 + PPPoE/mobile/VPN.

Confirming, based on the discussion on ubuntu-devel and verification ;)

According to the gnome bug tracker:

"IPv6 VPN support has been merged to NetworkManager and network-manager-openconnect master. Other plugins still need to be updated."

Still have the same issue after 3 years in Ubuntu 14.10...
