[ale] ifup problems, possible IPv6

[Jay Loden]

I'm not sure if IPv6 is the problem, but when connecting to our Netgear G 
router, I get the following on ifup eth0, and it takes almost a full minute 
to pick up the address.

sit0: unknown hardware address type 776

Trying recorded lease 192.168.0.6

Any help is appreciated, and I would like to disable IPv6 on the system but I 
haven't been able to find out how yet.
