The unnumbered patch is independent from the rest. But yes, he shouldn't have sent it in the same thread. To provide a bit of context, 6LoWPAN support in the kernel is currently in an embarrassingly badly broken state. On a good day, you can get ping to an RFC-compliant peer to work, sometimes even both ways, but only as long as you use link-local addresses and keep the payload small. Beyond that, it's all bugland. Alexander thus started to fix the 6LoWPAN issues he and others, myself included, had bumped into. It's a lot of changes for a relatively small file (6lowpan.c) and later on he'll have at least one more batch for fragmentation, but when all that is done, we'll finally have a stack that can actually do real work. Alexander, since you'll have to re-submit anyway, you may want to add a Reviewed-by: Werner Almesberger <werner@...esberger.net> to all the patches. - Werner -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
