Thanks Alex for the information!!

I executed the steps as provided in previous mail. My system gets freeze after enabling lowpan0 interface.
i.e. after executing command  // ip link set lowpan0 up //

Every time, I have to reboot my system to get it up back.

From Syslog, I see below : Am I missing something ? Any clue on probable reason of this issue ?

Don't use this information. It's outdated and it's not easy to delete sourceforge projects. :-)

If your setup runs fine with bluetooth_next, wpan-tools and fakelb is loaded.

Then iwpan dev should show two interfaces.

On each of them you need to set the pan_id e.g. "0xbeef", but not the default one and create one lowpan interface on it. e.g.:

for pan_id:

iwpan dev wpan0 set pan_id 0xbeef
iwpan dev wpan1 set pan_id 0xbeef

for lowpan interface:

ip link add link wpan0 name lowpan0 type lowpan ip link add link wpan1 name lowpan1 type lowpan

interface up:

ip link set wpan0 up
ip link set wpan1 up

ip link set lowpan0 up
ip link set lowpan1 up

getting default link-local address:

ip a

Then there should something like:

    inet6 fe80::b02f:76cc:1923:df59/64 scope link
           valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

for the lowpan0 interface, the address differs because it's a random generated one.

run ping6

ping6 -I lowpan1 fe80::b02f:76cc:1923:df59


I suppose here your interfaces are named "wpan0" and "wpan1".
The "fe80::b02f:76cc:1923:df59" is the address of lowpan0 and this is why we use the "lowpan1" interface by calling: "ping6 -I lowpan1".


This should be enough to run some ping between the two virtual phy's.
