On each of them you need to set the pan_id e.g. "0xbeef", but not the default one and create one lowpan interface on it. e.g.: for pan_id: iwpan dev wpan0 set pan_id 0xbeef iwpan dev wpan1 set pan_id 0xbeef for lowpan interface: ip link add link wpan0 name lowpan0 type lowpan ip link add link wpan1 name lowpan1 type lowpan interface up: ip link set wpan0 up ip link set wpan1 up ip link set lowpan0 up ip link set lowpan1 up getting default link-local address: ip a Then there should something like: inet6 fe80::b02f:76cc:1923:df59/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever for the lowpan0 interface, the address differs because it's a random generated one. run ping6 ping6 -I lowpan1 fe80::b02f:76cc:1923:df59 I suppose here your interfaces are named "wpan0" and "wpan1". The "fe80::b02f:76cc:1923:df59" is the address of lowpan0 and this is why we use the "lowpan1" interface by calling: "ping6 -I lowpan1". This should be enough to run some ping between the two virtual phy's. - Alex -- 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
