hi, Razvan Musaloiu-E.,
thanks for your nice help.
I proposed this question is becuase that when I was using the tutorial code
"EasyCollection" which used the sample routing protocol ctp, I found that if I
set the flag CFLAGS += -DCC2420_NO_ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in MakeFile, then the ctp
protocol is almost failed.
I greped in the ctp lib diretory, but not found there is some file used
PacketAcknowledgements interface, could you help me to figure out why I set
that flag will lead to the ctp protocol fail? thanks
and another question, there are a big number of CFLAGS += -DCC2420_* flags in
tinyos, could you tell me where I can find a file that list all the CFLAGS
there?
great thanks
Sam

The CC2420_NO_ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS will disable the sending of ACKs. The other
directive related to ACKs is CC2420_HW_ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS which will disable
the software ACKs and enable the hardware ones.

If a sender does not request for ACKs then the received will not ACK the
packet. If the packet requests for an ACK and the receiver has disabled
the ACKS then again the ACK will not be sent.

Actually there is such a problem already in the tree in this place:
apps/tests/cc2420/TestAcks
All the best!
