It is however pretty much untested for boards with the new HAL (simply because I do not own such board with more then one UART interface). Also AFAIK Hauke is working on an Ethernet device driver so RIOT can speak IPv6 directly without any Linux host in-between. For a working 6LoWPAN border router however we needs a working (6LoWPAN) ND which depends on #2003 [3]. I hope this will be done end of the year or (more realistic) early next year. For now there is only a very old, very neglected (and thus very untested) version of a border router already in master [4], that utilizes the current network stack (as opposed to netapi [5], which #1454 is implementing).
