Bug Description
After installing the latest network-manager package that fixes bug 990011, I noticed that my IPv6 address was suddenly different because IPv6 privacy extensions had been turned on. Turning them off in /etc/sysctl.
If I change some settings so that NM writes the connection to system-connections and then add ip6-privacy=0 to the configuration the privacy extensions are turned off, but it would be nice if that was also the case when it is turned of using /etc/sysctl.

Confirming / In Progress : the NM backend doesn't check for that particular file for the values, just looks at /etc/sysctl.conf. I'm going to be shipping more updates to fix this.
