This would allow for a network that physically looks contiguous instead of having to have two disparate wireless networks that are required to communicate via a border router or maybe even a classic Linux/BSD router. > > > That would be a border router nevertheless (just between two LoWPANs*). So yes, though it is not described in any standard I know, this scenario might be possible. At least in theory… But even than I would propably prefer to connect multiple boards over an Ethernet switch, just to keep the routing overhead low ;-).
I'm not sure I get your point here. More interfaces, more overhead, right. But what's the fundamental difference between an additional wireless If and and additional ethernet If in terms of *routing* state?
