If you use kernel version 3.18 or below:

You need the old lowpan-tools and the Getting Started guide from
sourceforge trac wiki. [0]


If you use kernel version 3.19 or above:

Don't use the Getting Started guide from obsolete sourceforge trac wiki
and some notes in current mainline Documentation/networking/ieee802154.txt

The ieee802154.txt needs some update, patches are welcome.

Instead use [1]. Sure this documentation can also improved, patches are
welcome. You can send patches for the website via wpan-misc repository. [2]
Please tag the patches then with "wpan-misc".



btw. for the 6lowpan_pending patches branch:

This was an experimental branch. There was also issues while bringing
mainline which was pointed out by David Miller. Maybe you can simple
search for the patch series on netdev archives for making 6lowpan
fragmentation handling better.
