It won't be able to decode the 6LoWPAN Prefix Information Option,
which replaces 4861's.
Even if it were, it wouldn't get answers on its NS (no 6LoWPAN-wide
multicasts!).
Then, since it didn't NR, it probably wouldn't get packets from outside.
And the reverse, could a 6lowpan ND end device get commissioned via a
standard RFC4861 ND router?
That depends on whether the implementer spent precious code space to
be able to parse 4861 prefix information option.
Again, the node will then get stuck on the NR.
Why do you want to mix?
