Hi Bill

How do you add the Unique local address to your systems?

I am thinking about updating the wiki IPV6 article and wondering about 
the best way of doing it.

I have it working by creating a script and linking it to 
/etc/network/if-up.d/010addipaddress. In that script I run a command ip 
-6 address add $ipadd dev "$ifacename" with appropriate parameters. I 
created a table of ULAs and MAC addresses. This works well, I get the 
automatic Global IPv6 address from Comcast plus the ULA that I set up.

I could not find a more user-friendly way to do it with NetworkManager. 
It allows automatic or manual configuration. I have to leave automatic 
configuration in place to get a valid Global IPv6 address. It would be 
nice if NetworkManager allowed you to use automatic plus add additional 
IP addresses to the list at the same time.
