Yes .. so why it is not showing in module list i.e lsmod It means the IPv6 kernel module is not loaded. Is there any way that I can load the module...or confirm whether the kernel module is runnig or not.
*module* is not visible through insmod because it is built statically in the kernel.Which is what you did, right? if there is an entry in /proc/net for ipv6 it is up and running. Just in this case it is built in the kernel and is not a module. You use module when you want to load your compile kernel code dynamically into the running code.

Sorry, the facts are against you, your kernel is already IPv6 enabled. The file /proc/net/if_inet6 exists *only* when the kernel has IPv6 support. Erik - -- They're all fools. Don't worry.
