It's an qeth issue, the IPv6 has to be disabled at compile time, so if you really want IPv6 off you'll have to compile your own kernel. Why qeth was written this way is a good question.

Re: Problems with qeth driver when disabling IPv6...
Sorry, but I have no idea what "Novell Document # 10098152" says. I would say you are going to have to re-enable the loading of the ipv6 kernel module. The qeth module clearly depends on it being there.

Problems with qeth driver when disabling IPv6...
SLES 9 qeth driver will not load when ipv6 is disabled According to Novell document # 10098152, I disabled ipv6 module from loading. The qeth driver now fails to load.
