disabling ipv6

[Matan Ziv-Av]

All home routers should be able to firewall incoming IPv6 traffic, so
it would be better to just firewall it, instead of disabling.

If you use Hot's modem (hotbox) as a router, then it can do that. At
least in the case of Hotbox2, it does so by default, so you should not
worry about the first issue.

Please also note that DHCPv6 is not the only (or even the mainly used)
configuration protocol for network parameters, so it is not so easy to
disable IPv6 network wide, if your router does not have this option.
