he makes a good point about ipv6, though.  if you check to disable it, then 
you are choosing to not use it, but it gets loaded nonetheless.

in my case, i did the same, but unless i disable ip6tables, i still have to 
wait for ip6tables to wait and wait and wait, then tell me there are no ipv6 
routers available, then continue normally.
