ok. I thought also about that.

The original iw tool has backwards compat. to older libnl version. We
could fix that inside the wpan-tools. But for now indeed libnl-3 is
supported only. I will change to it and maybe we have also this
backwards compat like iw.

Don't know about these transceivers I have CC2520 here but these are
buildin inside some contiki nodes and I don't have any pinout headers
for these.

Specially MRF24j40 have some different types and I don't know which type
is now supported. The driver maintainers can send patches to linux-wpan
and I will apply changes to wpan-misc and generate a new website.

For futher maybe we should add some "features" collumn because many of
them doesn't support all driver callbacks.

ok.
