Please don't use linux-wpan-next. Our current working repository is
bluetooth-next [1]. If you like to send patches your patches need to
base on bluetooth-next. See [2].

For testing fakelb I would advice you to create some qemu/virtualbox
machine with a recent bluetooth-next kernel.

Then if fakelb driver is built as module you need to call "modprobe
fakelb", if everything is okay then you will see two new wpan phy's by
calling:

iwpan phy

by default a wpan phy will create one node interface, so you will have
two wpan interfaces "wpan0/wpan1" by default. You can check this by calling:

iwpan dev

To setup the interfaces/phy and 6lopwan (if you want that), you can call
"iwpan" for all possible settings and follow the instructions at [3].
