The new kernel has IPv6 built in and on boot gives the message "IPv6 tunneling over IPv4". Problem is that although the network card is recognized just fine, I get "no route to network" errors and the following: "eth0: no IPv6 routers present". Now if "router" means hardware, then this makes sense. My firewall is IPv4 only.
Since all the rest of my network is IPv4, I'd prefer to keep it that way for this server as well. So I tried to rmmod ipv6 and got a "module is in use" error. The same result using modconf.
Question: how do I turn off IPv6 so I can get the server on the net and keep the ipv6 module from loading on boot? I hope I don't have to recompile the kernel....
TIA!
