The IPv6 module is blacklisted as no one (?) is using it - yet and it can give some problems

If you want to disable ipv6 you can remove it from the blacklist. I've never done it, all i used was fwcutter, but im using a dell but, anyhow, type

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

then at the very bottom, unless you already edited it, there should be

# disable ipv6
blacklist ipv6

erase it, and ipv6 should load on boot. i don't know the repercussions of doing this, as it is off by default, but you can always try.
