[PATCH net-next 0/2] New ARPHRD type for 6LoWPAN

[PATCH net-next 0/2] New ARPHRD type for 6LoWPAN

[Jukka Rissanen]

Hi,

new ARPHRD needed for 6LoWPAN networks. Initially this will
be used by Bluetooth sub-system but IEEE 802154 will be converted
to use it also. The patch using this new ARPHRD is sent to
bluetooth mailing list.

Cheers,
Jukka

Please add this to the tree when the bluetooth code that uses it
is added, you can add my:
