If you don't want to use IPv6 at all, you can use /etc/modprobe.conf to prevent the appropriate module from being loaded. (ISTR that it used to be called net-pf-10, but that module doesn't seem to exist anymore; I'd try disabling the ipv6 module.) To get rid of the IPv6 address on a particular interface, you should be able to use some variation of 'ip addr ...'. The only way I know of to prevent the kernel from assigning an address when an interface is brought up is to set the MTU to a ridiculously low value before bringing the interface up. If the MTU is too low for IPv6 to work, the kernel won't assign the address. Once the interface is up, you can set the MTU back to what you want and assign an IPv4 address (if desired). Needless to say, this is an ugly hack, and it's not supported by the networking scripts.
