Hi Marcel,
Could you please provide me answer of below query.
When BT 6Lowpan interface is UP after BLE & IPSP L2CAP connection (Say for
example "bt0").
I don't find interface is configured with inet6/IPv6 address which should be
configured during device initialization.
The snapshot is here:
sh-4.1# ifconfig
bt0: flags=4177<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
unspec 00-02-FA-FF-FE-72-2D-17-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 txqueuelen 0
(UNSPEC)
RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
My query is how IPv6 address is configured or generated for BT interface? Or
the process which should be followed to get IPv6 address configured ?
Please give me some pointer in kernel code also, where to check?
Thanks & regards,
Paras

See net/bluetooth/6lowpan.c:chan_ready_cb(), it will setup the netdev
and take the interface up. This should then cause the interface to have
the IPv6 link local address properly setup by the kernel.
