Load the ipv6 module with disable=1, which is why I added it :)
>From Documentation/networking/ipv6.txt:
disable
Specifies whether to load the IPv6 module, but disable all
its functionality. This might be used when another module
has a dependency on the IPv6 module being loaded, but no
IPv6 addresses or operations are desired.
The possible values and their effects are:
0
IPv6 is enabled.
This is the default value.
1
IPv6 is disabled.
No IPv6 addresses will be added to interfaces, and
it will not be possible to open an IPv6 socket.
A reboot is required to enable IPv6.
