Where the devil did the thread concerning ipv6 go? Should have disabled it immediately, I guess, but was busy figuring out touchpad. :-\
In addition to the other stuff, /etc/sysconfig/network/config: # If you don't want to use ipv6 at all, set this to 'no'. Then ifup will always # flush all ipv6 adresses. This might be usefull together with ifplugd, if link # beat detection is only possible with interface UP. # USE_IPV6="no" and to get rid of the firewall-related modules that will get loaded anyway, in /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2: # What to do with IPv6 Packets? # - no: do not set any IPv6 rules at all. Your Host will allow any IPv6 # - drop: drop all IPv6 packets.

See FW_IPv6_REJECT_OUTGOING to avoid this. FW_IPv6="no" # Reject outgoing IPv6 Packets? # Set to yes to avoid timeouts because of dropped IPv6 Packets. This Option # does only make sense with FW_IPv6 != no FW_IPv6_REJECT_OUTGOING="" and in /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager: # To disable IPv6 support within KDE. It might solve large timeouts due to KDE_USE_IPV6="no"
