As I understand it, link-local addressing is necessary for IPv6 to function at all. So disabling link-local addressing is analogous to disabling IPv6. So the note in the Wiki «Kernel doesn't support turning link-local addressing on/off (without affecting other features)» doesn't really make any sense, as it would be impossible to disable link-local addressing without affecting the rest of the IPv6 stack. It would be like removing the lowest floor of a building and expecting the remainder to *not* come crashing down... :-) > 2) But setting disable_ipv6 doesn't really work as expected.

I'm not sure I've understood what the bug in question is and how to tickle it, though.
