I can confirm the details of this problem. When I am on an IPv6-enabled
WLAN with radvd running on the router, selecting a new wlan (or even the
same one) causes multicast to fail on the interface. Rebooting does not
seem to always help. Flushing the addresses and routes and re-adding the
link-local address to the interface seems to fix the problem.

Also, I don't think NetworkManager is sending a neighbor notification to
the router to trigger an advertisement when IPv6 is set to anything
other than Ignore. Because of this, NetworkManager will wait and wait
and wait for a scheduled advertisement from the router. Then, unless I
manage to get lucky, the entire connection fails and I have no network
connectivity unless I set IPv6 to Ignore again, clearing out all my
IPv6-only settings.. This should not be happening; even if I weren't
using IPv6-only settings, I should not have to "get lucky" for my
connections to work.
