No, its not a 802.15.4 radio... its mostly layer 1 and some "listen
before talk/ALOHA" media access. I can send it raw frames (with a few
header fields) and get everything the radio receives via serial port.

A friend of mine suggested looking into 6lowpan instead of writing my
own fragmentation/IP-compression/... scheme. The radio is very slow,
so I need something efficient.
