Cannot get rid of ipv6 address

[Timothy Murphy]

My EeePC 4G 701 is running Fedora-10/KDE .
(I haven't succeeded in upgrading to Fedora-13 yet.)
It seems to run reasonably well,
but there is one curious feature -
I can only get an IPv6 address for eth0, the ethernet connection.
I get an IPv4 address for wlan0, the WiFi connection.

1. lsmod shows that the ipv6 module is running.
I thought I had stopped this by appending "alias ipv6 off"
to /etc/modprobe.conf , but evidently I was mistaken.
Is there a better way to turn a module off?

2. Is there a way of using an IPv6 address in /etc/dhcpd.conf ?

Any suggestions gratefully received.
