Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 03/12] 6lowpan: always enable link-layer acknowledgments

This feature is especially important when using fragmentation, because
the reassembly mechanism cannot recover from the loss of a fragment.

Note that some hardware ignore this flag and not will not transmit
acknowledgments even if this is set.
