LibXML not returning the xpath result

I downloaded a XML from a camera to memory, and wanted to parse it with libxml and xpath, but I get a blank result (or rather, the "Leerer Knoten" path), when trying to query the value of a node. Whats happening there?

std::string wrapper::utility::XMLHelper::getPayload(std::string identifier, std::string document)
{
    xmlDocPtr doc = xmlParseDoc((const unsigned char*)document.c_str());
    xmlXPathContextPtr xpathCtx;
    xmlXPathObjectPtr result;

    xpathCtx = xmlXPathNewContext(doc);
    if (xpathCtx == NULL)
        return "Invalid Context";

    result = xmlXPathEvalExpression((xmlChar*)identifier.c_str(), xpathCtx);
    char buffer[16];
    snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "%d", result->nodesetval->nodeNr);

    if (xmlXPathNodeSetIsEmpty(result->nodesetval))
    {
        xmlXPathFreeContext(xpathCtx);
        xmlXPathFreeObject(result);
        xmlFreeDoc(doc);
        return "Leerer Knoten";
    }

    std::string returnValue((char*)xmlNodeGetContent(result->nodesetval->nodeTab[0]));
    xmlXPathFreeContext(xpathCtx);
    xmlFreeDoc(doc);
    xmlCleanupParser();

    return returnValue;
}

std::string identifier = "/NetworkInterface/IPAddress/ipAddress";
std::string request =
    "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?> \n"
    "<NetworkInterface version=\"2.0\" xmlns=\"http://www.std-cgi.com/ver20/XMLSchema\">\n"
    "    <id>1</id> \n"
    "    <IPAddress version=\"2.0\" xmlns=\"http://www.std-cgi.com/ver20/XMLSchema\">\n"

    "       </DefaultGateway>\n"
    "       <PrimaryDNS>\n"
    "           <ipAddress>8.8.8.8</ipAddress> \n"
    "       </PrimaryDNS>\n"
    "       <SecondaryDNS>\n"
    "           <ipAddress>0.0.0.0</ipAddress> \n"
    "       </SecondaryDNS>\n"
    "    </IPAddress>\n"
    "    <Discovery version=\"2.0\" xmlns=\"http://www.std-cgi.com/ver20/XMLSchema\">\n"
    "        <UPnP>\n"
    "            <enabled>true</enabled> \n"
    "        </UPnP>\n"
    "        <Zeroconf>\n"
    "            <enabled>true</enabled> \n"
    "        </Zeroconf>\n"

    "        <duplex>half</duplex> \n"
    "        <MTU>1500</MTU> \n"
    "    </Link>\n"
    "</NetworkInterface>";

std::string res = wrapper::utility::XMLHelper::getPayload(identifier, request);

/NetworkInterface/IPAddress/ipAddress searches for elements in the empty XML namespace. Your document seems to contain a namespace, so register it and use a namespaces prefix.
