I have this problem too.
I believe the problem is in libcurl 7.19.7-8.fc13. If I downgrade to
curl/libcurl 7.19.6-10.fc12 the problem goes away.
If I run from a command line:
$ curl 'https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=rawhide&arch=i386'
I now get:
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 2610:28:200:1::fed0:2: Network is unreachable
despite the fact that IPv6 is disabled. The ifcfg script includes IPV6INIT=no.
$ ifconfig

My understanding is that Scope:Link means that is it can not be used
for internet access.
All other networking appears normal and works okay.
