Augusto Santos (mkhaos7) wrote : sysctl doesn't disable IPv6 on Jaunty

When using sysctl to disable IPv6, it doesn't work. The command I used is the following:
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1

Looking around it seens this a bug in the linux kernel, which already has a fix, as described here: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/24127/

Please, backport this patch so IPv6 can easily be disabled on Jaunty!

I'm running Jaunty beta, updated as of 29/03/2009. Any details needed I'll be glad to provide.
