Hi,
Sorry for creating another thread of mails, but I couldn’t figure out how to properly send the mail in the same chain using git-send-mail.
Anyways, I gathered some data after my last mail.

The kernel on both the pi. It is the Raspberry provided kernel:
Linux raspberrypi 4.14.98-v7+ #1200 SMP Tue Feb 12 20:27:48 GMT 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux
There are tutorials giving directions to create a custom kernel in order to patch the driver support for at86rf233.
But for the Raspberry provided kernel, the device overlay was already present. So I did not go through the process
of creating the custom kernel.

I understand your concerns, but if there was a chance of device not connected properly (or the wiring issue) would it still show up in kernel messages as an identified device.
For example, the output of ‘dmesg | grep spi’:
[ 3.990085] at86rf233 spi0.0: Detected at86rf233 chip version 2

This is the first time I’m trying to make the connection.

Setting up LowPan to see if ping over ipv6 works:
