[Tinyos-devel] b6lowpan stack release

[Stephen Dawson-Haggerty]

What would need to be done (for any radio) is create a version of
ActiveMessageC which does not contain the active message dispatch byte
in the header; the stack doesn't use active messages so as to be
purely 6lowpan on 802.15.4.  I've done this for the cc2420 in
contrib/tos/chips/cc2420; ideally it's a trivial change.  I also use
the packet link layer; it doesn't look like the rf230 has this but it
can probably be ported from the 2420 or written as a shim on top
without much trouble.
