Thanks for your reply Alex, after a bit of debugging I've tracked it down to our RPL application. If I disable this at startup there are no lock ups. As soon as I start the daemon it brings the Kernel down so I need to investigate why this happens. I'll have a go at updating the fakelb as it's useful for RPL and MPL. - Martin On 07/05/15 13:24, Alexander Aring wrote: > Hi Martin, > > welcome back. > > On Thu, May 07, 2015 at 11:41:15AM +0100, Martin Townsend wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I've recently upgraded my kernel to bluetooth-net-next with the latest lrwpan-tools and find that I get the following Oops: >> >> We have 3 wpan interfaces, a powerline, a wireless, and a fakelb interface. If I disable the wireless interface everything is fine. If I disable the fakelb interface all is well. The problem seems to be when all 3 interfaces are up. This used to work in our 3.16 Kernel. >> Aslo we never saw the IPv6: fakelowpan: IPv6 duplicate address fe80::203:9a00:2:12c detected! message in the old build. >> >> Starting 802.15.4 loopback: > Again, I would not trust the fakelb driver.
