The same problem has been asked on the Fedora list today, and one of the replies was to make an entry in /etc/modprobe.conf as below: install ipv6 /bin/true I've sent stuff to /bin/true before, and it's worked ok, and the modules arn't loaded. I tried it on my Lenny install, and sure enough ipv6 is no longer seen in lsmod. Just to check it out, I commented out the line, rebooted, and checked lsmod a gain, and ipv6 is back. I'm never too sure where to put these things in /etc/modprobe.d, but for sound card related stuff, TV card options, webcam options, I've put them in /etc/modprobe.d/sound. Thats where I put "install ipv6 /bin/true" , and it appears to work ok. If someone can suggest a better place, I'm listening. For these sort of options/alias/install lines, it's a bit more straightforward on Fedora, as it all goes in /etc/modprobe.conf, but on the other hand /etc/modules on Debian, makes it really easy to add modules you want loaded at bootup. There's no such file with Fedora. It's a case of, you win some you lose some, depending on the distro you're using. All the best.
