I would like to trigger a discussion about rtnetlink or generic. I can
put a nested rtnetlink for some device specific settings but then the
whole iproute2 (as it's currently is) would maintain a specific
6lowpan setting which maybe the user never wants...
I think we should follow this way when there is a strict ipv6 device
specific setting e.g. l2 neighbor information in ipv6 ndisc.
