Well I'm not really using IPv6 at all. I disabled it. My ISP doesn't

time Konquerer was not IPv6-aware, so it worked fine. But I'm not a KDE
user, so that didn't really help me much. Besides, I got awfully tired
of having to ping everything first in order to get a connection. I
couldn't even issue an 'aptitude update' without first pinging the
mirror -- 90% of the time it would time out before connecting.
Likewise, the only way I could load a website in w3m was by using the
no-IPv6 option; if I didn't specify that option, it would time-out and
the website wouldn't load. Firefox and Thunderbird were also unusable,
until I disabled IPv6 for each in "about:config."
huh. so you were using ipv6 and then disabled it and in the meantime
konq became ipv6 aware and now it needs to have its ipv6 awareness
disabled manually? is that the situation? if so this soudns like a bug
as IMHO there should be a system wide config for this and konq , along
with others, should respect that.
my .02 about something which I know less than little.

I can't speak to how well konq works under those circumstances because I
don't use it. *Before* it was IPv6-aware, it worked for me because it
didn't bother with IPv6 look-ups.
IPv6 is loaded as a module in Debian. I disabled it
in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases, system-wide. So I don't have any more
IPv6-related issues. My problem may have been related to the way my
modem/router (it's one of those combo devices) and Debian/Ubuntu
interact. For whatever reason, every other OS I tried didn't exhibit
the same problems. From what I understand, what's supposed to happen is
that any request gets sent out over IPv6 and tunnells to IPv6-over-IPv4
when there's no IPv6 capability (which there wouldn't be if your ISP is
not providing IPv6). That's how it worked in OS X -- ifconfig showed an
IPv6 address, but it was bypassed and all http requests worked fine,
with no perceptible delay. If you look through Debian bug reports,
you'll see a lot of complaints about delays or time-outs related to IPv6
look-ups, many dating from 2003-04.
IPv6 might work fine in Debian for people who actually have a use for
it, and might not cause any problems for many others who don't but have
different hardware. I just know that for me, it's presence caused a lot
of problems, and those problems went away when I found out how to
disable it system-wide.
