Since ipv6 is compiled into Jaunty's kernel rather than as a module as
it was done in older Ubuntu versions, blacklisting won't work any more.

What you could try (I haven't tested if it really works) is to add
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
to /etc/sysctl.conf or /etc/sysctl.d/<something>

I seem to remember having read somewhere that adding
ipv6.disable=1
to the kernel's command line should also do the trick. But I haven't
tested this either.
