This isn't true. The security layer is exactly the same and copied
from IEEE 802.15.4.
The rest of the mac layer is pretty simple. Simpler than IEEE
802.15.4... for now.

What about to introduce a new interface type? Then you can do a
complete different parsing on this interface type and share the code
what you need from 802.15.4
