        <pre>As the summary says, systemd-networkd fails to bring the interface up if ipv6
is disabled with the ipv6.disable=1 kernel parameter. This is a regression on
systemd 219 as with 218 it was working.

The ip address configured in the respective .network file is assigned to the
interface, in my case a bridge create with a .netdev file, but the interface
will be down.

<span class="quote">> ip a s brkvm</span >

    link/ether 36:98:33:12:74:df brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.56.1/24 brd 192.168.56.255 scope global brkvm
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

In this case the output on the journal is as follows:

<span class="quote">> journalctl -b -u systemd-networkd -o cat</span >
Starting Network Service...
brkvm           : netdev ready
Enumeration completed
Started Network Service.
brkvm           : Cannot configure IPv6 forwarding for interface: No such file
or directory
brkvm           : brkvm           : could not bring up interface: Address
family not supported by protocol
brkvm           : link configured
wlan0           : gained carrier

If ipv6 is not disabled then the ipv4 address I'm trying to set will be
assigned to the interface and the interface will be brought up.</pre>
