Guys, I'd like to join the foray too :)

Ability to bind different types of interfaces to the same radio is
desirable. However, is there any scenario where multiple interfaces
would be simultaneously bound to the same radio at the same time? Or
did I misunderstand the purpose of storing a list of slaves in
mac802154_priv? Also, wouldn't this cause some confusion as to which
specific interface should handle packets received over a particular
radio?

Doesn't IEEE802.15.4 qualify as a sane default? Even if it doesn't,
and we require the user to explicitly add an interface before he can
use the radio, can we not restrict him to one interface per radio at
any given time, thereby preventing the aforementioned confusion?

Warm Regards,
Felix.
