No I forgot it :S, Now I found the folder But the following questions continue to be open: - The Porto's zigbee that you are speaking about is the one available in the /tos/lib/net/zigbee folder? - Is the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC implemented by Porto the one available in /tos/lib/net/zigbee/ieee802154 folder? >> >> >> I think that the right way to proceed is for >> > Porto to factor out the MAC part of their implementation and move it >> > into >> > this folder, at the same time transferring the responsibility for this >> > code >> > from net2 to core.
