[Tinyos-devel] Sniffer

[David Moss]

You're right - the difference is just Makefile stuff.  The question is would
people prefer the two main types of basestation/sniffer behaviors to be
pre-setup and separated, or would it make sense to leave everything alone
and let the user decide based on how they edit the Makefile?

Sounds like you're suggesting we lean more towards letting the user decide
based on how they edit the Makefile options, and there's no problem with
that.  Less apps to maintain.  Any other opinions?

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
