I had to read the commit message to find out that you mean multiple lowpan interfaces on one wpan interface here. And not multiple lowpan interface on one machine which I thought first. :) The later has for sure enough use cases :) I don't have a use case for the former (the one you remove here) either. Still we might want to consider this as an RFC here to give folks a moment to speak up with they use this. > > Currently it's broken to update the wpan mac address while having a lowpan > interface on the top.
