Just a little followup here to clarify in case you decide to add this info to the documentation. The 12.04.5 «Precise» fixes will come about by importing a collection of packages from 14.04. They call this a Hardware Enablement Stack (the purpose is to bring support for modern hardware and its drivers to the older but still-supported releases): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack Anyway, what I wanted to clarify is that if a user is installing 12.04.5 from scratch, then it should default to using the kernel package from 14.04, and the IPv6 multihoming fixes should be there out of the box. However if the user is on <=12.04.4, doing a distribution upgrade is not sufficient, he would also need to manually install the kernel from the 14.04 Hardware Enablement Stack to get the required fixes. This is done by installing the package "linux-generic-lts-trusty". Here's some suggested text: The fixes are also present in Ubuntu 12.04.5 «Precise» (kernel package "linux-generic-lts-trusty" required) and in Ubuntu 14.04 «Trusty». Tore
