Re: TCP/IP with 7.4 beta2 broken?

Quick fix is probably to turn IPv6 off in the kernel unless it's needed
- on my RH box that is as simple as removing a line from
/etc/sysconfig/network and rebooting

Kurt Roeckx knows more about this than I do, but I know when I turned
IPv6 on I had to do something similar to what is below - I seem to
recall we had a discussion about this somewhere. I think we (or at
least I) assumed that folks who turned on IPv6 would be able to figure
this stuff out for themselves. If distributions are starting to ship
with it turned on we may have to revisit that.

There seems to be some IPv6 warts, even though it does work.
