I also see this. My symptom is an IPv6 failure caused by a missing
default route. In /var/log/syslog I see:
Sep 19 09:24:30 mal NetworkManager[1565]: <warn> Failed to add route Missing
attribute
Sep 19 09:24:30 mal NetworkManager[1565]: <error> [1316420670.859276]
[nm-system.c:1036] nm_system_replace_default_ip6_route(): (wlan0): failed to
set IPv6 default route: -1
Sep 19 09:24:30 mal NetworkManager[1565]: <info> Policy set 'XXXXXXX' (wlan0)
as default for IPv6 routing and DNS.
Sep 19 09:24:30 mal NetworkManager[1565]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 5 of
5 (IP Configure Commit) complete.
Sep 19 09:24:30 mal NetworkManager[1565]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 4 of
5 (IP6 Configure Get) complete.
If I add an IPv6 default route manually using this, then it works:
sudo ip -6 route add ::/0 via XXX metric 0
IPv4 works fine.
My configuration: I have static addresses against this wireless network
for both IPv4 and IPv6. I'm using network-manager 0.9.0-0ubuntu3.
This worked fine for me in Maverick. I haven't tested Natty.
Unless IPv6 works for someone else in a more automatic mode, it seems to
me that this is a regression making IPv6 unusable.

NM fails to add IPv6 routes with netlink errors
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
NM appears to work properly and does give me an IP address, but there
are error messages indicative of something wrong in adding routes:
