   Whilst perusing Usenet on Mon, 19 Feb 2007 23:51:40 +0000, I read   
   these words from Moog  :

   Despite crawling the net for info on the matter, I'm still   
   struggling with this installation. I had an internet connection   
   via the wireless network *once*. I updated the depository   
   and software and ended up with a newer kernel number !   
   Ooops ! On re-boot, I lost the Wi-Fi . . .   
      
   I decided to re-install to get a 'clean sheet' to work with   
   (reckoning on doing another update but at least I'd have   
   some idea of what would happen thereafter)   
      
   Now, even after altering the alias file, I can't get the above   
   query to return a blank line (presumably it should ?).   
      
   Instead I get_'inet6 ::1/128 scope host'_ returned   
      
   I've now re-installed several times (5 ?) using a wireless   
   connection but always get the above.   
      
   So I dug out an ethernet cable and connected into the router   
   with my old Xircom Ethernet 10/100 + 56K modem card.   
   (I have lights on both router and card and the card does   
   show up in the 'Connections' box in 'Network Settings')   
      
   This time I get *two* lines from the query :   
   '_ inet6 ::1/128 scope host_'   
   '_ inet6 fe80::210:a4ff:fec5:67c7/64 scope link_'   
      
   And 'pings' to the router still fail 100%.   
        
   Any ideas ?   
   >   
   >You may also wish to blacklist it (a good idea if it gets you a connection)   
   >sudo echo "blacklist ipv6" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist    
      
   Would this, on its own, be enough ?
