Just wanted to send a note about this bug has already been solved in Ubuntu, by always modprobing ipv6 as the first command when bringing up an inet6 interface. See https://patches.ubuntu.com/i/ifupdown/ (They have also added an option to module-init-tools, -Q, to make it be totally silent.)
IMHO it should be modprobing net-pf-10 instead. This way the protocol family 10 can carry an alias to the correct module - or none if you want to blacklist ipv6 for some reason. -- Regards, Andreas Henriksson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
