Hi,

I am trying to use openflow in conjunction with LrWpanNetDevice. Openflow requires SupportsSendFrom to return true. Moreover i am unable to retrieve (or assign) 48bit mac to these (lrwpan) net devices.

One more thing I also want to use (in a different experiment) lrwpan mac with 6lowpan netdevice, is it possible or not.

Kindly guide

Regards,

Jazib Jamil

LrWpanNetDevice does not support SendFrom. Patches are welcome.

That's quite obvious, LrWpanNetDevices doesn't have a Mac48 address. They have 64 or 16 bit addresses (as stated in the standard).
