Thanks for the reply. I finally locate the cause of my problem. When
the routing engine initializes, it calls AMPacket.address() to
determine its ID. But in Motelab, AMPacket.address() returns 1 for all
the nodes instead of their actual ID, and node 1 is not a root node.
Since there is no root node, no routing tree can be established.
I fixed the problem by setting the node's ID to TOS_NODE_ID. But the
reason of why AMPacket.address() returns 1 is no clear to me. My guess
is that TOS_AM_ADDRESS is not set when Motelab programs its nodes, so
TOS_AM_ADDRESS just defaults to 1.

Tao
