This is true. sicslowmac, however, is just an 802.15.4 framer and address/data stuffer for 6LowPAN. And since 6LowPAN only uses data frames, it has minimal interaction with Linux 802.15.4 stack. You can get things working that way. This set of patches shows the kernel of the idea: http://devl.org/pipermail/mc1322x/2010-March/000215.html It's using uncompressed 6lowpan sent as 802.15.4 data frames. I added to the data packet handles code to recognize the 6lowpan header and pass it up to the linux ipv6 stack. With something like this you can run a Contiki node, have Linux and Contiki do NS/NA and then ping the node with ping6 (and receive udp packets etc..). Jon has been working on adding 6lowpan for real. You have a good point though, for some of the mac's in Contiki (e.g. contikimac), you will need a kernel side equivalent for that to work. Often this is done with another Contiki node running as a bridge. -Mar. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Linux-zigbee-devel mailing list Linux-zigbee-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-zigbee-devel
