Protocol family numbers should be listed in a header file somewhere -- for
glibc2 at least it's /usr/include/socketbits.h:
/* Protocol families. */
#define PF_UNSPEC 0 /* Unspecified. */
#define PF_LOCAL 1 /* Local to host (pipes and file-domain). */
#define PF_UNIX PF_LOCAL /* Old BSD name for PF_LOCAL. */
#define PF_FILE PF_LOCAL /* POSIX name for PF_LOCAL. */
#define PF_INET 2 /* IP protocol family. */
[..]
#define PF_INET6 10 /* IP version 6. */
So you're obviously lucky enough to be running some utils / applications
that are IPv6 aware; either alias net-pf-10 to off in /etc/modules.conf [0],
or compile IPv6 support into the kernel (or as a module) if you want to play
with it.
[0] Apparently /etc/conf.modules support in modutils will be going away at
some point in the future.
