I guess this problem exists for different aspects of manually getting IPv6  
to work on IPFire 2.x. For example, have a look at the following files  
that will be edited and might possibly be overwritten.

http://wiki.ipfire.org/en/add-ipv6/extend/prepare
/etc/sysconfig/modules
/etc/sysctl.conf
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/ipv6.conf (deleted)

http://wiki.ipfire.org/en/add-ipv6/extend/nativ
/etc/init.d/network

Therefore, we don't really need the tools to be IPv6-enabled. It would  
just have made things one step easier.


So, I have added a warning here:
