Description:
Current version of networkmanager breaks with IPv6 if hop limit is set to unspecified. Client software just shows "Hop Limit exceeded" or similar.
A "Cur Hop Limit" field value of 0 in a router advertisement means "unspecified by this router" and should not be set in the kernel.

The fix has been commited upstream in git master and nm-0-9-10 stable branch:

Ugh, damn... I downloaded a html formatted page from cgit, not the correct patch.
