I did an upgrade to 7.3 from 7.1 and it seems to have turned ipv6 on. insmod shows ipv6 loaded. Before I upgraded, it was happily runing ipv4 no problem. in the /var/log/messages file, it also mentions "kernel: IPv6 running over IPv4 using tunneling driver" so I guess ipv4 is in there somewhere!
just rmmodding ipv6 shuts down all the ethX interfaces :(
do I need to recompile the kernel to bring it back to ipv4? I don't need ipv6 at all. I've checked rc.config and there's no mention of ipv6. where are the ipv6 settings held? the yast2 network setup only seems to show settings for ipv4.
has this happened to anyone else?
thanks, chris
Normal IP4 should still work as expected, even though you have the IP6 support loaded as a
module.
I got this behaviour by default in SuSE 7.2 and it hasn't caused me any problems.
All my network references are IPv4 format and I have a fully functioning internet-aware box/firewall
(so far...!)
