This is in response to the following bug report,
Disable ipv6 on the interfaces of the bridge. Closes: #607741.
It sounds like a good idea, but it left me really confused as to what
happened to my IPv6 link local address and autoconfiguration on eth0
after I took down the bridge and connected to a different network.
Here's a patch to enable IPv6 again when the bridge is taken down.
