Now look at this message from the kernel when booting and setting up

It is entirely possible to use IPv6 without routing IPv6 addresses. Link local addresses (the ones that start with FE80) can be used on the local network. They're also used for forwarding through a router. For example, here's my IPv6 default route: default via fe80::202:a5ff:fe7b:d908. Also, the Windows "Home Group" uses only IPv6, regardless of whether there's IPv6 routing.
For local addresses, I understand. But internet addresses are not accessible, no? - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
