Check out the CC2420 data sheet.

The TinyOS 1.x stack uses hardware-generated acknowledgments. Software
processes received acknowledgments. The 2.x stack also uses
hardware-generated acknowledgments. The Boomerang stack uses
software-generated acknowledgments.

If you're digging into the CC2420, I *strongly* recommend getting a
developer's kit. They run about $600, but have software that lets you
inspect every packet sent out, which lets you really easily figure out
if a problem is in the receiver or in the transmitter.
