   2 Options for the ipv6 module are supplied as parameters at load time.
   3
   4 Module options may be given as command line arguments to the insmod
   5 or modprobe command, but are usually specified in either the
   6 /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf configuration file, or in a
   7 distro-specific configuration file.

   9 The available ipv6 module parameters are listed below.  If a parameter
  10 is not specified the default value is used.

  12 The parameters are as follows:
  13
  14 disable
  15
  16         Specifies whether to load the IPv6 module, but disable all
  17         its functionality.  This might be used when another module
  18         has a dependency on the IPv6 module being loaded, but no
  19         IPv6 addresses or operations are desired.
  20
  21         The possible values and their effects are:
  22
  23         0
  24                 IPv6 is enabled.
  25
  26                 This is the default value.
  27
  28         1
  29                 IPv6 is disabled.
  30
  31                 No IPv6 addresses will be added to interfaces, and
  32                 it will not be possible to open an IPv6 socket.
  33
  34                 A reboot is required to enable IPv6.
