To disable ipv6 on F12 on the next reboot just add the line
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
to your /etc/sysctl.conf file.
To disable it right away issue the command
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
To disable ipv6 on just one interface (for example eth0) issue the
command
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6=1
or enter the line
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6 = 1
in your /etc/sysctl.conf file for the next reboot
