Currently I'm working with net-next tree locally. Unfortunately I have no time to update github project but hope to do it in the nearest future. > 2.

In the past, Ive taken a diff from the > linux-zigbee tree[1] (devel branch) to 3.3-rc5 (which the linux-zigbee > tree is based on) and applied it to my kernel.

Linux-next, or maybe the answer to #1? linux-wsn wiki contains all the necessary information. (I believe :-) ) > > 3.

The current code contains a basic implementation only, no ieee802.15.4 related features. So ToDo list contains at least the following items: 1. beacon support 2. coordinator support 3. network association 4. scanning 5. security 6. topologies 7. serial mac support 8. radio drivers etc... > > 4.

Some patch-sets are huge (more than 10 patches) and are resubmitted several times, so I'd like to send here the ones were applied. you may find all the series on netdev list. > > Don't take any of this the wrong way.

So feel free to ask any questions!
