[Bug 794923] [NEW] Kubuntu network module doesn't allow writing an IPv6 DNS server

Binary package hint: network-manager

Not sure if this issue is  related to NetworkManager package. I thin
it's more related to Kubuntu network settings.

I click in "network settings" icon in the systray, open my WiFi
configuration and try to set a IPv6 (i.e: 2620:0:ccc::2) as DNS
nameserver. The text box doesn't allow it to me as it seems to validate
the input against an IPv4 regular expression. Neither writing an IPv6
referece (this is: [2620:0:ccc::2]) does the work.

So honestly I don't know if it's an artificial limitation in KDE network
module, or maybe it relies on NetworkManager itself which doesn't
support an IPv6 as DNS nameserver.
