Hi!

I checked my system and the ipv6 module is loaded. Simply removing it 
was not possible, because it is in use. Now the output of lsmod is 
not really helpful to determine how is using it. I just see the 
number 10. Is this the number of processes using the module?
Is there a way to find out besides removing the module and see how 
complains?
