Disable IPV6 Autoconf option
Add the option in the GUI to disable ipv6 auto configuration. This is NOT disabling ipv6, this is preventing the network stack from attempting to self-configure (beyond the link-local address). This is done by adding to /etc/sysconfig/network IPV6_AUTOCONF=no but whenever this file gets rewritten by CCE, the manually inserted line is removed.

Hi Darren, Yeah, I recently spotted this as well and it's indeed a bit of a nuisance when a box that should only have IPv4 grabs itself an IPv6 address off DHCP. I'll fix base-network sometime this week and publish the update to YUM. Many thanks.

I just posted an updated base-blueonyx (for the "/root/network_settings.sh" script) and an updated base-system for 5209R. They now set IPV6_AUTOCONF to "no" by default.
