Hi,

this patch series contains two patches. At first we remove the multiple
lowpan interface support. I don't see any use case for that, if somebody
has an use case for it. Please report your use case.

I had to read the commit message to find out that you mean multiple lowpan interfaces on one wpan interface here. And not multiple lowpan interface on one machine which I thought first. :)

The later has for sure enough use cases :)

I don't have a use case for the former (the one you remove here) either. Still we might want to consider this as an RFC here to give folks a moment to speak up with they use this.


Currently it's broken to update the wpan mac address while having a lowpan
interface on the top. The first patch will introduce some easy mechanism
to access the lowpan interface inside the lower mac802154 layer. When the
mac802154 changes the mac address then it will updated also on the lowpan
interface, if the wpan interface belongs to a lowpan interface.

Just back from vacation and catching up with to many things. I can give this a test on my setup next week if you want.

regards
Stefan Schmidt
