IPv6 cannot be disabled on Jaunty

There is a patch to correct this: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/24127/

Can confirm this in the final version.

Kernel 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009.

What's the schedule for making this fix available in the the Jaunty apt-repository?
Will it be included in linux-image-2.6.28-12 kernels?

joshis@joshis-desktop:~$ uname -a
Linux joshis-desktop 2.6.28-13-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 2 07:55:09 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Still present here - I am also interested about when the fix is delivered. :o(

Another patch which is likely desirable to go with this one is:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=fe7ca2e1e847b65c12d245cbf402af89da96888a

This should allow "ipv6.disable=1" to work on the kernel command line. This is not need in Karmic, only Jaunty.

Karmic is at 2.6.31 which is not affected.

Jamie, why hasn't the patch you linked to @ #5 been applied yet to the Jaunty kernel?
It applies as linked hunked with 104 line offset which should make applying it to the main line kernel a 5 minute job.
I'd wager it's taken you longer to change the status of this ticket back and fort:)

What's the hold up? Any status update would be greatly appreciated.

This should be in the next security update for Jaunty's kernel.

one of the most annoying failures in ubuntu. after so many years and releases it is still a hot topic and will probably not been solved in future releases too. on for this 100 failure list. i can't belive it, it does stress me every day. thanks

Accepted linux into jaunty-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Confirmed, adding 'ipv6.disable=1' to the kernel line now disabled ipv6. Thank you!
