Ok so this is interesting - you only seem to have a Unicast IPv6
address. Which means something else might be wrong.

What is your netsat -rn (not sure what it should be on ubuntu) am
looking to see if you have a default gateway for the IPv6 - maybe
wananchi is doing something.

Try and disable the IPv6 (though i dont think this is a problem) to see
if you will get an IPv4 address with the DHCP.

Is there an option for a static?
