IPV6 enabled by default in kernels 2.6.28-4 and up

Just a quick update to an old post I made: Disabling IPV6 to tweak network connectivity. The tweak mentioned on the post will only work for kernel versions prior to 2.6.28-4 as discussed on the following bug report: IPV6 causes slow internet access. Sorry for those who have tried to apply this tweak and failed. If you are using kernels prior to 2.6.28-4, this will still work.
