Akos,

...running an MSP430 connected to a CC1000

I had some similar problems with a modified AntiTheft demo a few months ago. I 
hooked up a snooping BaseStation and found that the node that I "thought" was 
not communicating had been trying to send packets to a node that was not in the 
mesh (seemed like routing table corruption of some sort).

I am running the basic 2.02 release with the modified ( > 255 node support ) 
file in the /lib/net/le.  This was just checked in the other day.  Lately, I 
have not seen the "node death" problem that I had experienced before, though.

A few questions, though:
Have you modified the data rate for the RF communication?
Are you running in a Low Power Listening mode?

Best regards,

Todd
