Is there any way that I can load the module...or confirm whether the kernel module is runnig or not. This is because IPv6 seems to be compiled into the kernel. If the code is compiled into the kernel (i.e. an integrl part of it) rather than being compiled as a module, it will not show up through lsmod. Only code compiled as loaded as modules will show up in lsmod. The IPv6 code is "loaded" in that it has been compiled into the kernel, not as a module. Either: * Stop the code being compiled into the kernel and load the module. The module should then show up in lsmod. "/proc/net/if_inet6" should exist when the kernel module is loaded. * Leave it compiled into the kernel and forget about adding the code as a module. "/proc/net/if_inet6" should exist all the time when the IPv6 code is compiled into the kernel.
