Linux无线ESSID:off/any的错误

我用的Distribution是SUSE，昨天上网发现无线网络突然扫描不了，在命令行下输入iwconfig wlan0
得到的结果为：
wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:off/any  
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=0 dBm   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
这个信息说明任何无线都无法被扫描到。

查了很多资料都不知道是什么原因。
输入命令/etc/init.d/network restart
得到的结果为：
Shutting down network interfaces:
    eth0      device: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B
              No configuration found for eth0
              Nevertheless the interface will be shut down.          done

注意，上面的信息中有一个异常：wlan0     DHCP6 continues in background                          waiting
进到图形界面的“网络设置”中的“全局选项”，如下图所示：

发现图中的“启用IPv6”选项被勾起来了。把该选项前面的勾去掉，无线网络恢复可以为正常扫描。

问题解决！
