For information, I have a patch in my policy (that I never found the
time to send) which adds "allow NetworkManager_t self:rawip_socket
create_socket_perms;" with the following description:

    Allow NetworkManager to use raw IP sockets

    NetworkManager uses raw sockets to send and receive ICMPv6 paquets.

    "ss --raw -lpn" shows:

        State   Recv-Q  Send-Q  Local Address:Port  Peer Address:Port
        UNCONN  0       0       :::ipv6-icmp        :::*
        users:(("NetworkManager",pid=31474,fd=22))

    and audit.log reports AVC denials from NetworkManager for create,
    setopt, getattr and write in rawip_socket class.  Here is an excerpt for
    a denied write ("lport=58" means "ipv6-icmp", cf. /etc/protocols):

      type=AVC msg=audit(1414245913.538:386): avc:  denied  { write } for
      pid=31474 comm="NetworkManager" lport=58
      scontext=system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t
      tcontext=system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t tclass=rawip_socket

I agree with adding the required permissions to NetworkManager (ICMPv6
is used for Router Solicitation/Router Advertisement packets).
