Have you read TEP 125?

As of 2.1, I-Frames will be the standard packet format in TinyOS  
networks. So all that's needed is putting the logic down in the CC2420  
stacks that pass up packets that don't match the TinyOS NALP byte. The  
6lowpan stack would then not require any ActiveMessageC shadowing.
