I would be ok with leaving it enabled if there were an easy process to disable it if needed. After doing a little research I did find this to be a prevelent problem with Linux reguardless of distribution. Seems that whatever solution is provided would benefit to any distro which has IPv6 enabled.

Possibly a small troubleshooting app which checks for the IPv6 issue and offers to turn it off if found and recommends that the user look at updating their firmware. Place the with the network managment software. This solution leaves IPv6 enable and provides the user a simple check and disable if desired.

Hardware: Actiontec GT701-wg (sold by Qwest Communications)
Firmware: Version QW05.05 works with IPv6 (Lower versions do not)

Thanks,
