Subject: [PATCH] IPv6: Add 'autoconf' and 'disable_ipv6' module parameters
This is the quick and easy patch to add autoconf and
disable_ipv6 module parameters to IPv6. I don't think anything
more complicated is needed, assuming you play with the /etc
configuration files.
For example, if you wanted to enable IPv6 just on 'lo' you
would:
1. Add "ipv6" to /etc/modules (if you don't, step #3 might fail)
2. Add this to /etc/modprobe.conf:
options ipv6 disable_ipv6=1
3. Add these to /etc/sysctl.conf:
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=0
# ip -6 a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
The wording can probably be cleaned-up a little in ipv6.txt,
comments welcome.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Add 'autoconf' and 'disable_ipv6' parameters to the IPv6 module.
The first controls if IPv6 addresses are autoconfigured from
prefixes received in Router Advertisements. The IPv6 loopback
(::1) and link-local addresses are still configured.
The second controls if IPv6 addresses are desired at all. No
IPv6 addresses will be added to any interfaces.
