It would be nice to be able to select which protocols (e.g. IPv4 and/or IPv6) to use on a specific wireless network.

Example 1: You are connected to a wireless network that has IPv6 enabled but connectivity on IPv6 is not working as it should and you are not in the position to correct the network. Having a checkbox in the network configuration that allows you to disable certain protocols (in this case: IPv6) would work around this problem.

Example 2: You are connecting to an IPv6 only network. Connecting is troublesome as the connection attempts to configure an IPv4 address. Currently, to work around this, you'd have to manually set a static IPv4 address to be able to connect properly. Having a checkbox to disable IPv4 would fix this problem.

Would it be possible to get a checkbox to enable/disable IPv4 and a checkbox to enable/disable IPv6?
