Public bug reported:
I use netplan together network manager.
After a while my computer lost its default route for ipv6. When investigating
with tcpdump on another client (raspberry pi) I found that my router sends an
icmpv6 router advertisement message about every 8-10 minutes, but my computer
only receives 30-50% of the router advertisement messages.
The wifi connection is stable and has a reception strength of around 80%. A
ping6 with 1000 messages works without any packet loss. If no router
advertisement message is received after 1800 seconds, the ipv6 default route
disappears.
A second computer with intel wifi hardware that still runs with kernel
5.4.0-91-generic but uses a different wifi chipset has the same problems. I
also tested the mainline kernels 5.15.11 and 5.16.0-rc7. Still the same
behavior with the other kernels. I don't see any error message in syslog or
dmesg while a packet is lost.
If I exchange my wifi hardware to an ALFA Network AWUS036ACH, then all packets
are received and the default route stays stable.
