Hello all,

For the past few days I've been trying to wrap my head around the
current state of 802.15.4 stack in Linux. So many trees to pick from,
but at least the mainlined 3.5 version is unusable. So, currently using
version from linux-next.

Is there a mechanism to send raw PDU contents (and receive them) using
the PHY interface? I'm in the process of adding AT86RF212 support to the
rf230 driver, and our target testing nodes all run custom software. No
coordinators, and using 868MHz (page 0 and page 1 channel 0).

There doesn't seem to be a way for example to enable an interface
connected to a phy. Or to set the page or the channel. The only way that
this seems possible is via an association request which implies that a
coordinator needs to be present.

Is there a way to enable phy-level "raw sockets" with userspace supplied
short addresses from userspace and to control the page/channel combo?
Maybe some magical "stub" coordinator is necessary?

Also, we are not interested in running 6lowpan, nor coordinators in the
near future, but have our own stuff built on top of 802.15.4
non-coordinated environment (ED-sampling based backoff, within the SRD
of 868MHz).

Thank you for your time & best regards,
ak.
