Well... NM needs to put the interface UP so it can reliably monitor the 
link state. But that was turning ipv6 addr auto-config on and was 
considered a security issue and thus NM started disabling ipv6 on such 
(non-configured via NM but monitored) interface to avoid the address 
auto-configuration from happening, yet causing this.

The fix (to be able to bring it up without ipv6 address autoconfig) 
needed kernel & NM patches and show be available on 7.0.z very soon.

Such address was on the host, no?
