It is probably because the network interfaces you are trying to use are
down. You can make a very simple test like this (from scratch):
1) Remove the current configuration: mv /etc/config/bmx6
/etc/config/bmx6.old
2) Start bmx6 daemon without configuring any network interface: bmx6
3) Now you can use "bmx6 -c" to talk with the daemon
4) Bring up a network interface, for instance: ip link set eth0 up
You can also use an existing WiFi network device or also the br-lan, do
not worry, bmx6 won't remove any IP already configured in such devices
5) Add the network interface to bmx6: bmx6 -c dev=eth0
6) Check the current config status with: bmx6 -cp
Bmx6 has added a new IPv6 address to your network interface, you don't
have to worry about it. Check it with: ip addr show eth0
You'll find something like this
inet6 fd66:66:66:2:120b:a9ff:fe7b:23c0/64 scope global
So if you connect another device to the network interface and you do the
same, both nodes will be already connected via bmx6 (check it with bmx6
-c links). You can add as many network interfaces as you want.
If you want to save the configuration, just execute: uci commit bmx6
And you will see the changes made on /etc/config/bmx6
Cheers.
