The mc13224v can be in either promiscuous mode or autoack mode. In order to do radio level acking, you must configure the address filters (so linux would have to pass the pan, short, and long addrs to the radio). CCA/CSMA is another thing that probably can't be done in the kernel as the timing is too tight. -Mar. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Linux-zigbee-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-zigbee-devel
