Re: internet slow with kernel 2.6

[Arne Caspari <arnem@informatik.uni-bremen.de>]

I also had this problem and it was apparently caused by the activated IPv6 support in Debian. 

I do not know why IPv6 is enabled in debian per default since this support only caused me problems 
on new installations. Also I do not know the "correct" way to disable IPv6 in Debian. 

Does anybody know how IPv6 can be disabled in Debian correctly ( something like dpkg-reconfigure... )?
I used some hack in my startup scripts to make things work IIRC.
