Don't know, we need to talk about which address again. What I changed in this patch series is that a interface will not be unregistered when connection get lost (very bad for ip capable interfaces), it's going down and when it's down it has no address until it's up again. While the interface is up, you cannot change the L2 address. So if 6LoWPAN interface is down, you can set which adress you want to use on L2 bluetooth layer, at least it need to be known when somebody makes the interface up. If all connection get lost -> interface will down. So far I remember correctly I replace register/unregister when first connection comes in/last connection get lost with ifup/ifdown. So the interface comes automatically up when first connection is there, I thought that because if connection is there then the L2 address cannot be changed -> which is good. And with connection I mean a L2CAP connection which you did before with btmgt connect stuff + running echo "connect ..." on debugs interface. Sorry, I don't know the special words which bluetooth community use that to describe the differences. >>> Checkout commit message of Patch 19/19 to see how I used it. >>> >>> Bad news are, I will start my master thesis shortly so I am not able to work >>> on this patch series anymore. >>> > > Did you keep track what patches have been merged upstream?

I agree I need to cleanup the patch series to write what I fixed "a race" or "interface address stateless autoconfiguration handling -> remove the FF:FE in MAC" or "neighbor discovery -> don't recover MAC address from L3 -> this stuff is complete broken, ipv6 is not designed to work as such handling". I think these are the most important topics which we have in this patch-series. Badly I am still in my thesis and have no time to do that.
