The 802.15.4 standard describes a max frame retries parameter 3 as default. Currently this parameter affects only the transceivers which supports automatic retransmission. This at the moment the at86rf230 driver, all other drivers which don't support setting of max frame retries parameter we assume the 802.15.4 default now. This change will introduce that the at86rf230 driver will go into ARET mode (max frame retries parameter above or equal zero) per default. If somebody experience that other nodes receives the same frame three times repeatly, then your receiving node doesn't support AACK handling for receiving. For all users they should set the max frame retries parameter to "-1" which turns off the ARET mode and restore the old behaviour.
