Correct, but it does NOT mean that the kernel has no IPv6 functionality. > Is there any way that I can load the module...or confirm whether the > kernel module is runnig or not. You could do yourself a big favour if you actually read replies. Please read what I wrote before: your kernel has IPv6 support already compiled in and therefore there can't be an IPv6 module. You also figured out yourself how to detect IPv6 functionality from the /proc filesystem. If a kernel already has IPv6 functionality, why do you still try to load a module with functionality that's already there? Erik -- They're all fools. Don't worry.
