The cc110x doesn't support 802.15.4 natively, so I wrote the driver to
"pretend" to be 802.15.4 to the upper layers, so we can re-use 6lowpan
and the rest of the network stack.

On L2, this is a hack. Only one byte (as supported by cc110x) is used as
MAC address and any higher level packets are just sent as plain payload.

It's possible to emulate the 802.15.4 frame format, and can probably
done in a way that the code could be re-used with other transceivers as
well.

But as the cc110x cannot be programmed to use 802.15.4's modulation, it
will never be able to communicate with other 802.15.4 transceivers.
