I found that the latter one seams to be somewhat _incomplete_, that is it doesn't support handles for _reset_ and _wake/sleep_ gpio-pin configuration. Further, this makes connecting the mrf24j40ma to the RasPi pinout inconvenient (IMHO). On the other hand the atmel driver (at86rf230)[1] does support these functions, so I'd like to _port_ the reset and sleep functionality into the mrf24j40 driver[2]. Yes, hard-reset functionality would be nice. Remember the wake/sleep functionalty is limited only, if the subsystem doesn't use the transceiver then it will go into sleep mode. Nothing more is supported for powersaving currently. > Is anybody working on this, and if not: do you think it is useful/worth while doing so? I'm willing to work on that and implement these extension, maybe also restructure/clean up the driver code a little bit in this process. ok. Great! If I remember correctly Koen Zandberg (I cc him here) said something about the hard-reset functionality @irc, that he plans to implement it. Koen, do you already working on this or still try to bring mac802154 led-trigger functionality mainline? :-) Also I cc "Alan Ott" the maintainer of mrf24j40 driver. - 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
