Hello,
I have a newly installer FC6 on x86_64, and when I run

I have two questions regarding this:
can I get rid of this sit0, so that in next boot it will not
appear when I run "ifconfig -a" ? I don't use ipv6 (and will not
use it until at least FC7 , but probably also not after FC7 is out).
And I don't use ppp/slip on this machine (nor any special
net features).
Second: when I run "lsmod" I see : "ipv6" ; can I get rid of this module
so that in next boot it will not appear ? (As said, I will **not** use
ipv6 in the near future).
Regards,
Ian
Ian,
Add two lines to your /etc/modprobe.conf:
alias ipv6 off
alias net-pf-10 off
Then, after you reboot, both the sit0 and the ipv6 module will not
load...
But what is this sit0 interface?
Thanks,
Marcelo
The sit interface is a IPv6 to v4 tunnel interface. IIRC.
