Stefan, maybe you testing with the ATUSB firmware which going _not_
into RX_AACK_ON. This was one of my lastest changes according to the
ATUSB firmware. Please check that, otherwise the atusb doesn't send
ack frames if ackrequest bit is set after receiving.

I was wondering where can I buy the ATUSB?
On the pulster page I can't find it.


They are all out of stock, everywhere. I cc Werner maybe he will bring
back the atusb again. He do his stuff all open source and a possible
solution would be a Kickstarter project.

Another option would be:

  - Produce your own atusb
  - I know that "Christopher Friedt" produced some, maybe he will give/sell
    some. :-) I cc'ed him here.
  - use the experimental firmware [1] on RZUSBStick [0] support. Basics
    functionality only and not stable such atusb. I ported the firmware
    to this stick, it can be used by atusb driver. The transceiver is a
    different -> at86rf230... and this transceiver we also doesn't
    support by the at86rf230 because it's too different and a huge
    errata.

Would be nice to have a USB MAC8021511.
Guess I need to wait for the next lot being produced.



In general why is the framework not requesting ACKs on all non broadcast
DATA frames?

There is an option if turned on - it'll also request ACks on broadcasts...

I suppose you use the af802154 socket family. I didn't touched the code
and this socket family is full of bugs. We need a replacement for that.

The socket code which I was working is AF_PACKET.

In case of AF_PACKET:

  dgram sockets: extended address and intra_pan communciaton only. The
                 AF_PACKET UAPI doesn't offer more address information.
		We do a mapping to this currently, other option would be
		to disable DGRAM on AF_PACKET. It's not possible to send
		broadcast frames with that.
		If you need that, something similar like af802154 should
		be available, but it's currently broken.

  raw sockets:   You can build the mac frame inside userspace with
                 complete control fc and address settings. We don't check
		this frame if it's valid. This is not a bug.


and 6LoWPAN:

6LoWPAN doesn't do that, the check should be at [2]. If it's currently
broken at your side?

Maybe - I still use the lowpan-tools.
And it locks like ACKs must be enabled via NL802154_CMD_SET_ACKREQ_DEFAULT, which lowpan-tools doesn't do.
Wondering why it's not by default enabled...
So I patched my kernel, probably in the wrong place.

     currently and I working already to a DNS solution to redirect
     wpan.cakelab.org -> /alex.my-webspace.org . At the moment it looks
     like the provide has bugs inside his DNS web-frontend configuration
     page. ;-)
