Guys, This problem still persist on Ubuntu 14.04.1, as follows:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1345847 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997605 Title: Disabling IPv6 autoconfiguration in sysctl.conf doesn't affect boot process Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When you put the following lines in sysctl.conf net.ipv6.conf.all.autoconf = 0 net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra = 0 the expeced result is to disable IPv6 autoconfiguration at bootup, but, actually, it does nothing, because sysctl.conf network settings are applied after network has been started. So what happens: 1. Network interfaces are started by /etc/init.d/networking 1a. IPv6 uses autocnfiguratin, because it is enabled at this point 2. Sysctl.conf settings are applied by /etc/init/procps.conf I don't know if there is an easy solution, because inverting order things are called could break something else.
