Hi,

okay now I am finally confused.

You need to make the same thing here like what we discusss in antoher
mail.

   In the figure, letter 'b' represents a bit from the
   Bluetooth device address, copied as is without any changes on any
   bit.  This means that no bit in the IID indicates whether the
   underlying Bluetooth device address is public or random.

   |0              1|1              3|3              4|4              6|
   |0              5|6              1|2              7|8              3|
   +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
   |bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb|bbbbbbbb11111111|11111110bbbbbbbb|bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb|
   +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+

The function addrconf_ifid_eui48 will do a u/l bitflip. You need to change
that otherwise transparent 6lowpan adaptiation will not match on your
local address.

Making u/l bit here, but not in IPHC code -> will not work together.

btw: That's why I think we should provide some function _once_ to
generate the IID for iphc code and ipv6. Then such mistakes will not
happen.

So we don't want to have some module dependency of 6lowpan in ipv6.
My first idea is to make a callback in 6lowpan private data of
netdevice. :-/
