NetworkManager 0.8.3, to be shippedin the upcoming Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty) seems to do the right thing,including using the OtherConfig-Flag in RA to trigger a stateless DHCPv6request. Haven't tested stateful yet.
I've tested stateful configuration and it works correctly (with stateless/stateful and stateful only) in NetworkManager with ISC DHCP 4.
The DHCP client uses a dynamic DUID based on the link-local address and time. That's not quite as flexible as WIDE or Dibbler.
