that is already being possible by using raw sockets, what is the difference here? Depending on your use case it might depend on what kind of mac instance "wpan_dev" is created on top of your phy. If you just want to have bare phy access you are looking into monitor wpan dev types and using AF_PACKET raw sockets. I already connected user space stacks (only for development) with it. If you want to have ARET/AACK support, the answer is more complicated. - Alex
