I also see this. My symptom is an IPv6 failure caused by a missing default route. In /var/log/syslog I see:

Sep 19 09:24:30 mal NetworkManager[1565]: <warn> Failed to add route Missing attribute

If I add an IPv6 default route manually using this, then it works:
    sudo ip -6 route add ::/0 via XXX metric 0

IPv4 works fine.

My configuration: I have static addresses against this wireless network for both IPv4 and IPv6. I'm using network-manager 0.9.0-0ubuntu3.

This worked fine for me in Maverick. I haven't tested Natty.

Unless IPv6 works for someone else in a more automatic mode, it seems to me that this is a regression making IPv6 unusable.
