Looking at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup- ipv6, you can control ipv6 from /etc/sysconfig/network. # Uses following information from "/etc/sysconfig/network": # NETWORKING_IPV6=yes|no: controls IPv6 initialization (global setting) # IPV6_DEFAULTDEV=<device>: controls default route (optional) # IPV6_DEFAULTGW=<address>: controls default route (optional) -- Sean
