[meta-networking][PATCH] 6lowpan-tools: add git version

[Koen Kooi]

The 0.3 release was 6 months ago and git HEAD contains fixes to make it work with contiki, so build from git instead of backporting all the patches.

Sounds like a good idea. And not only because one of the patches is
from me ;)

Any special reason why this is named 6lowpan here?

6lowpan normally refers to IPv6 over LoWPAN while the lowpan-tools
do not configure anything regarding IPv6 but the plain LoWPAN which is
the protocol layer below. I would suggest renaming it to lowpan-tools.

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.

lowpan-tools was the name we had in OE-Classic as well.

Koen, would you mind renaming this and sending a v2? Could you also use SRCPV 
in PV and add SUMMARY and HOMEPAGE at the same time?

Thanks,
Paul

I'll have a look at it
