 As far as I know there were some considerations and work done towards a
 generic AT86RF23x or even AT86RF2xx driver. Thomas, am I right?

 Yes, I'm working on that (almost done).
 Yes, I will take up work on this again next week, as we have a stable netdev
 interface by today.


That's great news!
I have seen some compatibility issues when I have been attempting to
use the 231 driver for the 212B (sub-GHz band), but I assume this is
because every limit etc. is configured to work with the 2.4 GHz
register values on the 231.
