+Subject: [PATCH] Added code to check if the proc/net/if_inet6 file exists
+ while loading IPv6 addresses in the IPv6Addresses class
+
+Added code to check if the proc/net/if_inet6 file exists while loading IPv6 addresses in the IPv6Addresses class. If it doesn't, then the system has IPv6 disabled, and that chunk of code is passed.
