Bug#577196: linux-2.6: IPv6 addresses and routes not removed upon disconnection

[Timothy Baldwin <T.E.Baldwin99@members.leeds.ac.uk>]

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.33
Severity: normal

IPv6 addresses and routes configured on a wired Ethernet interface by SLAAC are
not removed when the network cable is disconnected. On a multi-homed host this
may result in a loss of network connectivity.  This is on a EeePC 901 and
Network Manager detects the removal of the cable.
