Possible mistake in code while sending Router Advertisement? #944

In the function uip_nd6_ra_output() in core/net/ipv6/uip-nd6.c, why the Prefix Information option is disabled when the device is set as a router (UIP_CONF_ROUTER=1)?

This function is in any case never called when the device is not a router.

???

I have seen this issue, as well. I think the guard macro must be removed, so RAs do have a prefix information option, RAs should be sent when the mote operates as a standard IPV6 router (not RPL) right?
