It means that you have IPv6 enabled.  The ipv6 module adds IPv6 support
to the networking stack.

If you do not configure IPv6 support for your networking in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* ... then it doesn't really matter
if you have IPv6 lookups.  Just set IPV6INIT=no.  For more information,
see /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt

And btw.  Don't be scared of IPv6.  When you start implementing it, it
is in many ways far simpler to tackle than IPv4.
