Hi Alex,  hi  all!

First of all, I have to apologize for possible spelling and formatting 
mistakes. I'm not used to write mails on the phone but currently I don't have  
my laptop.

As Andreas wrote in the other mail: it is quite common in the area of WSNs and 
IoT to implement ACKs and CSMA (and sometimes even address recognition) in 
software because many transceivers (particular older and cheaper ones) simply 
don't support this in hardware. However, I second you in having this handled in 
hardware if  available should usually be preferred for efficiency and 
performance. But of course only if the hardware support is working well.

Cheers,
Oleg
