Begin at "Bring up 6LoWPAN" section. For the at86rf230 you should have default a wpan0 interface. If you use wpan-tools simple type "iwpan" and read the help for setting address information. I think for at86rf230 you need to set the panid only, phy settings should be transceiver defaults and short address isn't supported for 6LoWPAN (except broadcast address, of course). The documentation is a little bit outdated currently. > In time I'll create a 3 node mesh and ping from one node via the second to > the third as a destination. > ok. > Eventually I add another 6LoWPAN node that will be a "Full Function Device" > and routes to traditional IPv6. > FFD with coordinator support? We don't support such functionality at L2 level yet. If you need help simple ask here or for better fast live supporting you can contact me via IRC #linux-wpan on irc.freenode.net. Ping between two nodes should be an easy setup. - Alex [0] http://linux-zigbee.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/wiki/GettingStarted-0.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wpan" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
