Description Ralf Jung 2012-12-28 14:00:30 UTC

Network Manager for some versions now supports a configuration "ip6-privacy" to configure whether the IPv6 privacy extensions are enabled or not. However, the configuration screen currently has no GUI for this option.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any connection config screen
2. Switch to IPv6 tab
Actual Results:  
No option for privacy extensions exists.

Expected Results:  
There should be a checkbox/drop-down menu to configure IPv6 privacy extensions.

I wrote a patch for this and submitted it for review at https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/108064/

Comment 2 Jan Grulich 2013-01-02 15:18:57 UTC

Knm::*setting classes will be replaced with classes from libnm-qt in future. I'm working on implementation of these classes and IPv6Setting is already implemented. But it will take some time to finish it so I think your patch could be applied for now. But this decision is up on lamarque.

Comment 3 Ralf Jung 2013-01-02 15:24:30 UTC

I assume that's part of the work going on in master, porting the applet to lib{mm,nm}-qt? I don't know what the state of that port is, i.e. how far away from a stable release (replacing the nm09 branch) it is. I based my work on the nm09 branch because I hope to use it soon, so I'd like to see it end up in a released version.
