Actually, I've been using the mc13213.  I don't have a 13224 dev kit
and haven't looked into what's available just yet.  I imagine that the
MAC interface is quite similar between the two parts.

I'm trying to stick within the bounds of the 802.15.4 standard, so
accessing the ROM should be acceptable.

Similar problem with the 13213 except that there is no ROM with the
MAC in it, the MAC is just a library you link to.
