In case anybody is wondering, ip6_init() is called via the domain
startup code via a pointer that's present in the "struct domain"
initializer for inet6domain. Disabling the call to
cyg_net_add_domain(&inet6domain) as shown above is what prevents
ip6_init() from being called.

OK, will do. I noticed after that last post that ip6_init is renamed
to cyg_ip6_init by one of the include files. I assume I should do the
same thing for ip6_init2 if it's going to be global?
