   Whilst perusing Usenet on Mon, 19 Feb 2007 23:51:40 +0000, I read   
   these words from Moog  :   
      
   >   
   >I had a similar problem with my mini-pci WiFi.    
   >In my case... I needed to remove IPv6   
      
   I think I need to do the same. Today I have lost my   
   internet connection and IPv6 Loopback Interface shows in   
   Devices (Network Tools) as what appears to be the default.   
   >   
   >   
   >Open a terminal window....   
   >$ sudo gedit    
      
   Ooops !   
   As User - that opens a blank document in the text editor   
   and   
   As Root - a 'cannot open display: (null)' message   
      
   Should I be opening an existing file to amend as below ?   
   >   
   >replace   
   >alias net-pf-10 ipv6   
   >   
   >with the following four lines (the off gives a clue to what it's doing)   
   >   
   >alias net-pf-10 ipv6 off   
   >alias net-pf-10 off   
   >alias ipv6 off   
   >#alias net-pf-10 ipv6   
   >   
   >Reboot...   
   >   
   >Check it's worked by typing   
   >$ ip a | grep inet6    
      
   Currently, with no changes made, that gives - '1/128 scope host'   
   >   
   >You may also wish to blacklist it (a good idea if it gets you a connection)   
   >sudo echo "blacklist ipv6" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist    
   >   
   >The above inserts the blacklist line into the relevent blacklist file. This   
   >may give you a brief warning on boot up. That's nothing to worry about.
