When my Debian(Etch) starts up, It always pause at the line "IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver" and delays about 10 seconds before it continues. This really makes me feel uncomfortable.
From the startup information alone, I thought it must be the problem of IPv6 driver. And by the way, I don't need IPv6 at present. So, my first reaction was to disable it. After surfing the Internet for a while, I had found some way to do that. But with no luck, it wouldn't work for me. Although the message "IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver" dispeared, it still caused me to wait quite a while.
At last, it was proved that it was not IPv6's fault. Just as Marko Randjelovic said in the DebianHelp forum(http://www.debianhelp.org/node/9355), the problem was in the /etc/network/interfaces. Open the file and I found that there was one line which stated "auto eth1". After commenting that line, restarted. And it worked! Now it starts up faster than ever before(10 seconds around ).
