This works only for device which makes a auto ack via hardware. If your hardware doens't make a auto ack, then you falling in this branch [2]. You will get a "ieee802154: bad frame received (type = ..." message. To handle a ACK massage it currently not supported(I suppose). With my at86rf230 device I will get this message. We need to handle it there and add a "case IEEE802154_FC_TYPE_ACK:" and handle the ack. Currently we handle DATA types only. That's my point of view of currently ack mechanismn. What do you mean exaclty with "req_802154_ack"? - Alex [1] https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/net/ieee802154/6lowpan.c#n697 [2] https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/net/mac802154/wpan.c?#n444 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.
