Bug Description

I have ipv6 enabled on my router with radvd running. All wired computers acquire ipv6 addresses and can route v6 packets fine. Wireless laptop with Intel wireless chipset also works fine. Linux mint on a Dell Mini 10 (Broadcom 4312) chip does not acquire V6 address. Manually setting V6 address does not work either.

Update:
Doing the following (as root) in a terminal seems to work (eth1 is my wireless interface)

ip -6 link set eth1 down
ip -6 link set eth1 up

This sorts out the ipv6 address after the next radvd broadcast but screws up ipv4 so you need to re-run dhclient on eth1
ALSO:
have to set

IPV6=yes

in /etc/default/ufw
