problem removing IPV6

EAD · 03-10-2006, 05:09 PM

hello again

I am using PClinuxOS and Kernel 2.6.15 and KDE
When using the "lsmod" I see that IPV6 is runing, and I want to remove it permntally.
The problem is when doing modprobe -f -r ipv6 it says that it still in use, and when doing rmmod ipv6 , It crush my KDE (and my linux), even at Prompt (ctrl+alt+f1) It still cause trubles.
Is there a way to remove this from runing? becasue I think it only cause me troubles.

see if you have a file /etc/modules.preload
with ipv6 in there and take it out
if that doesn't work
try putting it in /etc/hotplug/blacklist

amm, How will it work?
Won't it cause problems?
I have modules.preload and modules.conf
and in none of them there is a ipv6 thing.

i get SO confused as to how all the different systems work these days so it's very hard to help.
in an older type system with modules.conf we used to put

alias net-pf-10 off

try that

edit the '/etc/modprobe.conf' file. add these lines in it

alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off

this will disable ipv6

that was for FC3. since ur is PClinux. edit the '/etc/modules.preload' or '/etc/modules.conf' and add those line in it. experiment with it. nothing will happen dont worry abt that.
