PPP Running with IPv6 support or not means nothing if those addresses
appear or not, it is because your kernel is compiled with IPv6 support, so
the link local addresses as you see will appear, also, if you want to try
to remove them, you will most likely need to put -inet6 on the command
line, although i don't believe it is possible to remove link local
addresses... ie - disable it in your kernel and it will disappear (you
might also want to disable it for world programs too as someone has
stated in case of any problems...)
