Just to add a little...
The kernel I am using is 2.6.32.9, and I just found this message on the
mailing list:
http://devl.org/pipermail/mc1322x/2010-August/000509.html
It appears that some of the linux-zigbee kernel did not start making its way
in to mainstream until 2.6.33-35. So, using the 802.15.4 modules from my
2.6.32.9 kernel may not be recent enough. This may be why I am not getting
the full, expected, interface.
Unfortunately, it's a little tough to upgrade the kernel on my embedded
device. I've tried, and failed several times.
All I need out of the device is pretty basic:
* sniff ZigBee packets in pcap format (monitor mode)
* switch channels
* inject ZigBee packets to transmit to other ZigBee devices (basically,
raw)
If the kernel is truly the issue (somebody could confirm for me?), and the
kernel is challenging to update, then maybe it is best for me write
something custom to talk to the serial device (e.g., expanding on
rftestrx2pcap.pl).
