6lowpan kernel modules missing

For Developers
1

I have a hard time compiling OpenWRT with all necessary modules for IPv6 over BLE.
I configured the linux kernel and OpenWRT to enable IPv6 over BLE.

The 6lowpan modules are still not available though. I have a hard time understanding why they are not present. I change the version file in order to track, if the firmware actually gets changed.
Unfortunately it didn't change the version hash. So, it may didn't really flash the new firmware?

I use the GL.iNet GL-AR300M-Lite

In the .config

CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-6lowpan=m
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-ath3k=m
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-bcma=m
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-bluetooth=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-bluetooth-6lowpan=m

4 of your modules are set as m

These packages will be compiled, but not included in the firmware image file, e.g. to be installed with opkg after flashing the firmware image file to the device.

You should find the ipk’s in your Buildroot/bin
