I do now a rework of this branch which looks very similar like wireless/mac80211 afterwards. The HardMAC functionality should be look like wireless. This means a cfg802154 implementation inside driver layer. Also netdev allocation/registration etc.. is inside driver layer. cfg802154 is just a callback structure for the netlink 802.15.4 calls. Really the current mainline HardMAC functionality was in some broken state which never had any functionality. I hope you are not too frustrated now. :-) - Alex -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wpan" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
