No, network remains up. Both lo and ethernet have assigned addresses.

In some forums, it is said that IPv6 address might be not well assigned. 
  The Ipv6 address of my loopback is assigned to "::1/128". Is this correct?

Actually I want to run it only for experiment. My kernel is also 2.6.9

Thanks
