Subject: Does NetworkManager kill IPv6 connections?
I was running a overnight test that failed because an (almost idle) IPv6 connection
unexpectedly disconnected.
30 seconds before the disconnect syslog contains (retyped):
NetworkManager[pid]: <info> policy set 'Wired connection 2' (eth0) as default for IPv6 routing and DNS.
The same message appeared exactly 70 minutes earlier - with no ill effect.
A second connection between the same pair if addresses (carrying a lot of traffic)
was unaffected.
Any idea what/why NetworkManager is doing?
(Yes I know it is userspace, but it seems to be breaking the kernel....)
The system is an ubuntu 13.04 desktop (3.8.0-19 kernel), that recent, but
newer than the ones a lot of our customers use.
I can rerun the test, but don't know what to look for.
'eth0' is the only ethernet interface in the system that is actually
connected to a network.
Some indications of where to look would be appreciated.
David
