Actually, it is that Kopete and Konqueror don;t do ipv6 at all. Firefox is one 
of several applications (kMail is another I believe) that will attempt to do 
the new ipv6 protocol, in addition to the standard ipv4, when making 
connections. Unfortunately, that borks the ActionTec router...

Yes, that is another option, though you will have to disable the module. 
Unloading it won;t work as the kernel will just load it again... i.e. it is 
dynamically requested as needed... But without it, there is no IPv6 network 
stack and hence IPv6 communication attempts won;t be made. There is also a 
sys control option to disable IPv6 in the kernel.
