Hi,

I add this problem too. I had a Ubuntu Feisty server working without
ipv6 (blacklisted with "blaclist ipv6" on /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist). No
ipv6 module was being loaded.

Then I've upgraded it to Gutsy and then the module started to be loaded,
even with the ipv6 being blacklisted!

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsmod|grep ipv6
ipv6                  278916  24 nf_conntrack_h323

I've found that ipv6 was loaded by nf_conntrack_h323 module, and this
one was used by nf_nat_h323. I don't know why this modules were being
loaded (no SIP software installed on the server)

I was using shorewall firewall, so I had to explicitly add an empty
module file (the file where you say which iptables modules you want to
be loaded). This avoided that those modules from being loaded and ipv6
wasn't loaded since then.

I really think there is something wrong here. Even if shorewall had
changed and loaded all iptables modules since Gutsy (wasn't happening in
Feisty), with the ipv6 module being blacklisted it should not be loaded!
