How to disable ipv6 and sit0 ipv6-in-ivp4

Hi !

I'm using a Knoppix v3.4 HD-install. The ipv6-module is loaded although I disabled it in the modules.conf, also a sit0 ipv6-in-ipv4 is started (although only visible with ifconfig -a).

How do I disable this ? Is there any package that enables this, so I can remove it ?

You should run : update-modules
after you disable it in modules.conf.

Hi !

Thanks for the answer, but it doesn't work.

Actually, update-modules uncomments the line in the modules.conf file (I'm talking about the "alias net-pf-10" line).

Running depmod -a manually doesn't help either. Why is there a ipv6-in-ipv4 tunnel created ? I mean, to do this I usually have to run some commands explicitly. But on my install, it's just there.

Another thing, you need to comment out ipv6 in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
and in /etc/module-**(kernel-version)

then run update-modules.
No need to edit modules.conf because update-modules will take care of it.
