I think this bug still affects network-manager 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.3 shipped with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Settings found in /etc/sysctl.d/10-ipv6-privacy.conf don't get honored by NM.

Turning them off in /etc/sysctl.d/10-ipv6-privacy.conf doesn't stop network-manager from enabling it. I'm using the default automatically generated wired connection, so there are no connection settings in /etc/NetworkManager /system-connections. If I change some settings so that NM writes the connection to system- connections and then add ip6-privacy=0 to the configuration the privacy extensions are turned off, but it would be nice if that was also the case when it is turned of using /etc/sysctl.d/10-ipv6-privacy.conf.
