Hi folks,

"RPL Source Routing Header" (CONFIG_IPV6_RPL_LWTUNNEL) is currently
disabled. It seems it is only an oversight since this option is not
explicitly mentioned in debian kernel config file (and features like
"Segment Routing Header encapsulation" are enabled while they are very
close of "RPL Source Routing Header").

We consider to use RPL Source Routing Header in our implementation of
border router for Low-Power and Lossy Networks[1]. So, I would be very
glad to see this option enabled on Debian.

FYI, I have build a custom kernel with this option enabled without any
pain. I could send a patch if you need.

Thank you,
