[SOLVED] Can't connect to wifi without disabling ipv6
I recently changed my modem and since then my arch in order to connect to wifi requires disabling ipv6 otherwise it keeps on connecting and disconnecting loop. Disabling ipv6 in a GUI is easy but how can I do it from the boot iso install media? I wont be able to install arch if I can't disable ipv6. help?

Add ipv6.disable=1 as a kernel command line parameter from the bootloader screen.

Thanks it worked. Now do you know why arch can't handle ipv6?

Re: [SOLVED] Can't connect to wifi without disabling ipv6
Have you configured /etc/hosts? See hosts(5) for details.
My ISP doesn't have IPv6 at the moment so I can't test myself but I would recommend working through the ArchWiki page on the subject.
