Yes, this is because the IPv6 neighbor discovery protocol. (We don't
increment the lowpan interface stats currently), but this should be some
patch later which increments the "uncompressed" part of 6LoWPAN ->
simple IPv6 view, this is also what wireshark offers you on this
interface.

Yes, the setting is right.

I have no idea why it doesn't work on your side. That the "tx stats" of
wpan interface are incremented shows me it runs the code at [0].

Before we call "drv_xmit_async" which calls the function at [1].

Maybe you can do some 'printk(KERN_INFO "foobar\n")' at [1] to see if
you really call that function in driver layer, but it should.

Do you see SPI traffic while probing? Because at [2] we have some
id registers reads. If you don't see spi traffic and it probes
successful then your sniffing setup seems wrong. If you see spi traffic
then it seems to be correct and something is different in openwrt when
calling ?spi_async?.

Do you use now the software spi bit banging driver over gpio's?
