[mdlug] Disable IPv6?

[merc]

dugg around a bit, seems some people also add "alias ipv6 off" and/or
"install ipv6 /bin/true" to the modprobe.conf, worth a shot i guess.  Here's
a link to where i was digging around:
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Fedora/2004-07/0401.html

Also, restarts are always required because of some mumbo jumbo about ipv6
being 'hooked into the stack' -- and it may be getting loaded because other
programs are referencing the protocol(and the kernel loading it in
response...i guess..::shrug::)

worth a couple restarts possibly :)
