From 301d7d42a207e0d4f5bf11c7e2b6862ddebc8c36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Aring Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2015 17:11:19 +0200 Subject: 6lowpan: add request for ipv6 module The iphc module depends on CONFIG_IPV6, because it's not very useful to build the module without IPv6 support. Recently an user reported about issues for setting an IPv6 address to a 6LoWPAN interface. The issues was solved by modprobe the ipv6 module before. To avoid such user issues we try to request the ipv6 module when the 6LoWPAN module is loaded.
