Actually, IPv4 is correct in this context.  When the IPv6 controls are
enabled, it will make a little more sense.  The reason there is a checkbox
there for IPv4 is that you could disable IPv4 if you were operating on a 100%
IPv6 network.  With the other controls invisible, it looks a bit confusing.
