Hi Alexander,

Thanks for the code modification you suggested [0].

After adding the case "ARPHRD_6LOWPAN" to generate IPv6 address for BT =
interface in IPv6 module (addrconf.c file); kernel gets panicked.
May be this panic is because I am using below setup.

1. Linux kernel version 3.10.
2. For 6LoWPAN:  Just copied [net/6lowpan/.. and net/Bluetooth/.. code =
from 4.0.2 kernel] Rest all other modules are older only (kernel 3.10) =
including IPV6 module.

As I cannot upgrade whole kernel  due to official reasons, please =
suggest which other dependent modules I need to upgrade mandatorily to =
get the 6LoWPAN working for Bluetooth properly.
Or
Above setup is sufficient to work for Bluetooth 6lowpan?=20

Please let me know your suggestions.
=20
Thanking you,
Paras
