if you set net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr = 2 net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr = 2 in /etc/sysctl.d/* AND use NetworkManager, then NM overwrites net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr to 0. Reproducible: Always Expected Results: NM should respect privacy settings (or default to privacy enabled) The patch attached to the ubuntu bug fixes that for me (nm-0.9.6.4-r1)
(In reply to comment #0) > NM should respect privacy settings (or default to privacy enabled) This sort of feature request is best handled in the upstream bugzilla.
Please report this to upstream and post link here -> bugzilla.gnome.org
it does honor net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr if configured in /etc/sysctl.conf see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/src/devices/nm-device.c#n3093

Closing as upstream as we cannot do much more here until they don't care :/
