I've not used these myself.  Based on what I saw on the project web
page, 6lowpan seems like a pretty good name:

   The goal of this project is to create an implementation of 802.15.4
   and several protocols which run on top of it (primarily 6LoWPAN) for
   Linux.

But a quick look around in my apt-cache turns up lowpan-tools.  Seems
like that's what it's also named in Fedora land, so I'm thinking that's
probably the right call here, too.
