Description Michal Zugec 2009-11-24 14:07:26 UTC 
In previous versions we had ipv6 build as module, but this has been changed:
http://gitorious.org/opensuse/kernel-source/commit/24c9cb7f02c14eec6c059497a23a00c71841beab

That means that our supported way to disable ipv6 (blacklist module)
dont' work:
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disabling_IPv6_completely
http://en.opensuse.org/Disable_IPv6

Many users don't want ipv6:
http://forums.opensuse.org/network-internet/426511-11-2-ipv6-not-disabled.html

temporary
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6
or permanently
edit /etc/sysctl.conf by adding this line:
net.ipv6..conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1

solves this problem
