Bug Description
When you put the following lines in sysctl.conf
net.ipv6.
net.ipv6.
the expeced result is to disable IPv6 autoconfiguration at bootup, but, actually, it does nothing, because sysctl.conf network settings are applied after network has been started.
So what happens:
1. Network interfaces are started by /etc/init.
1a. IPv6 uses autocnfiguratin, because it is enabled at this point
2. Sysctl.conf settings are applied by /etc/init/
I don't know if there is an easy solution, because inverting order things are called could break something else.
