F18: Why does "modprobe ipv6" not load the module "ipv6"?

[Joachim Backes]

Hi F18 testers,

It seems I'm doing something wrong:

1. "lsmod |grep ipv6" : no module ipv6 found. Then
2. "modprobe ipv6" reports no error, but ipv6 does not seem to be
   loaded: same result as in 1.

   There is no ipv6 listed in /etc/modprobe.d/ (blacklist.conf,
   openfwwf.conf, udlfb.conf).

Any advice appreciated.

Kind regards
