[Tinyos-devel] Sniffer

[Chieh-Jan (Mike) Liang]

Just my two cents. What if we have just one application, and the user 
can include the flags they want in the Makefile? Since 
CC2420_NO_ADDRESS_RECOGNITION has been added, it seems to me the code 
for both SnifferCC2420 and BaseStationCC2420 are (almost) identical. 
Maybe I am missing something?

Thank you

Mike
