When I try the command `ip -6 addr`, I get an empty result. Then I tried the command `sysctl -a | grep ipv6 | grep disable` and I see the following result:
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_policy = 0
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_policy = 0
net.ipv6.conf.enp0s31f6.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.enp0s31f6.disable_policy = 0
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_policy = 0
net.ipv6.conf.tun0.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.tun0.disable_policy = 0
net.ipv6.conf.wlp0s20f3.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.wlp0s20f3.disable_policy = 0
So, I can see that the ipv6 is disabled somewhere, but I can't figure out where the configuration is. I do not have a file `/etc/sysctl.d/40-ipv6.conf`.

What are you using for setting up the network connection? That will be the primary determinator on whether a ipv6 address is allocated.

I use netctl.

And did you set IP6= to some value in your profile that would lead to an ipv6 address being allocated? From
IP6= [mandatory for IPv6]
One of ‘static’, ‘stateless’, ‘dhcp-noaddr’, ‘dhcp’, ‘no’ or left out (empty) altogether. The difference between
not specifying and setting to ‘no’ is in the handling of router advertisement packages, which is blocked by
‘no’.

That worked! I set
IP6=stateless
and reenabled my profile with `netctl reenable my_profile_name` and rebooted.
Thanks!
