> In short disable IPv6 using YaST, and remove one obstacle from the stack.

Thanks! I figured out how to run wireshark and saw the same thing you
did - IPv6 requests going to the router, and coming back as failures,
and then re-tries as IPv4. So I disabled IPv6, and things seem to be
going better - I run a couple of update checks and repository refesh
calls, and they all worked, where something was regularly failing
previously.

I need to watch it for a couple of days, but looks to me that this
solves the problem. Looked up stats on Wikipedia, and something like
0.6% of all hosts are using IPv6, so I figure disabling it is unlikely
to be a problem. And I agree with you, it is not the best strategy to
have it enabled by default if in fact almost no one uses it.
