Disabling IPv6 in Fedora — by scott_glaser — last modified Dec 01, 2009 08:28 AM

A lot of people have been coming into #fedora asking "how can i disable ipv6?" since their connection only uses ipv4. This howto will cover disabling ipv6 in the kernel stack during boot, stop ipv6 from being started by system calls and stop the ip6iptables service. IPv6 enabled should be entirely harmless, and if it _isn't_ then there is a bug which should either be reported to the local ISP (perhaps AAAA lookups are not working in DNS) or filed at http://bugzilla.redhat.com.

Setting System eth0 to go online automatically at boot — by Walter Francis — last modified Jun 28, 2010 10:22 PM

A design decision was made in Fedora 11 to not put the network devices online by default at login time. The user is required to manually put the devices online, and then manually set them to come online on subsequent boots. A bug was logged, but the decision was made that it was set this way by design, and hopefully there are further enhancements to improve the user experience in this regard coming in Fedora 12, but didn't make it into 12 or 13, now maybe 14...
