*** 1,16 ****
  This directory contains "TKN15.4", a platform-independent IEEE 802.15.4-2006
  MAC implementation. The code is under active development, but most of the
! functionality described in the standard is implemented and tested.
! The MAC itself is platform-independent, but it requires (1) a suitable radio
! driver, (2) Alarms/Timers with symbol precision and (3) some "platform glue"
! code (defining guard times, etc.). Currently the only supported platform is
! TelosB (but without additional hardware support on TelosB the timing in
! beacon-enabled mode is not standard compliant).
  
! Status (last updated 4/2/09)
! ----------------------------
  
  Missing functionality:
! - GTS 
  - security services
  - PAN ID conflict notification/resolution

    -- purging indirect transmissions on MLME_PURGE.request
    -- keep frame in transaction queue in case CSMA-CA algorithm fails
- - responding to active scans in nonbeacon-enabled PANs
- 
  
  Known Issues:
  - resetting the MAC during operation (via MLME_RESET) has not been tested
! - if initial beacon Tx timestamp is invalid, then coordinator can hang 
  - frame pending flags are (need to be) always set in the ACK headers
  - transmitting coordinator realignment frames has not been tested
