What do you mean with commit hash?
My current commit id is 6f744c3d72355f556d884583f4fc8b4e0f9723b1

I create a new branch [1] with a date and I should not do a git push -f
anymore, that's a bad command. :-)

I updated many things now... remove some unnecessary things in
reassembly.c file.

But important is you should have a:

/proc/sys/net/ieee802154/6lowpan/

directory. I added the runtime options for the garbage collector there
and a 6lowpanfrag_max_datagram_size file. So you can set there a
maximum datagram_size (bytes) for packets you will receive, otherwise
the fragmentation api will drop it. Default is the full 2^16 payload
length of ipv6.

there is no ethernet/6lowpan, 6lowpan can have currently only ieee802154 or btle
as mac layer. Or I just don't understand the point.

yea, I mean... new branch when it's ready... there are several things
why I don't like the current state of the branch, but it's still better
than the current implementation. Maybe I should bring the patches
mainline and then see for other solution for these things which I hate.

Things which I hate are:

- The size lookup function for 6lowpan header. I mean we don't need it
  and can decompress 6lowpan on the fly and we know the size. But I need
  to make some other things to provide that. See [1].

- The memory management.... we have lot of skb_clone there and I don't
  know who delete a skb and so on. It's a little bit crazy. See [2].

But these all issues which I can solve later. Good point is to be RFC
complaint and remove the race conditions.
