You can use econotags as a sniffer with wireshark. You'll have to program them with different firmware but that isn't hard to do: http://mc1322x.devl.org/wireshark.md > On the Econotag (and I did order it with Linux-802.15.4-serial > firmware, and it came in a bag that said "Linux"), the website says > I'm supposed to see an LED for send and receive. The two LEDs on the econotag are hooked up to pins that can be tied in hardware to receive and transmit functions.

In linux-zigbee/test-serial you have test_recv.py and test_packets.py. test-packets will send a bunch of packets and you should see them with test-recv. > > [1] I'm using the second ttyUSB device that comes up because using the > first one doesn't work on the ifconfig up step.

The second is wired to UART1. > [2] At this point if I run ifconfig wpan0, the address shows up as I > would expect. > [3] At this point if I run ifconfig wpan0, the address shows up as > FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF.
