to permanently enable u need to edit rc.config.d/netconf-ipv6 file
will have to put some entries.....

and then
/sbin/init.d/net-ipv6 start

Hope this would help.
BR,

Hello,

i've never try but if you can test, you can:
unload the 'ip' module and load 'ip6'.
see kcmodule man page on 11.23.

also, you need do confifure /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and /etc/rc.config.d/netconf-ipv6.

also verify that the ipv6 protocol doesn't need the ipv4 layer.

Here is a thread that says you may have problems with swinstall if you turn off ipv4:
