No, if ipv6 is disabled, no ipv6 address is assigned to any interface. >>> The fact that IPv6 layer was disabled on the subnet (as JD clarified it later), >>> does not change anything.

Look at the contents of my ifcfg-wlan0 above. > It says IPV6INIT=no "IPV6INIT=no" doesn't disable ipv6; it's used by "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ipv6" to determine whether to configure ipv6 for that interface. If ipv6.ko isn't prevented from loading through "/etc/modprobe.conf" or a conf file in "/etc/modprobe.conf.d/", an interface will be assigned an fe80 ipv6 address. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
