Now look at this message from the kernel when booting and setting up
the network:

<0.7> 2012-05-26 14:27:40 Telcontar kernel - - - [ 266.098003] eth0:
no IPv6 routers present

Why, if the kernel knows it is impossible to route IPv6 addresses, why
does it still send them? That message should be enough to disable
internet IPv6.
