[Tinyos-help] acknowledgements in Tinyos2.0.2 usingBaseStationCC2420, not supported?

[Tiago Camilo]

David,

Thanks for your time!!
You were right I was using an old version of CC2420ControlP, since I was 
compiling using the BaseStationCC2420 that incorporates the 
CC2420ControlP old version.
I just simply used the new BaseStation and the ack started to appear... 
so once again thanks!

I notest the flag -DCC2420_NO_ADDRESS_RECOGNITION, on the BaseStation 
Makefile, does this flag only work on the BaseStation code or can I use 
on different application using the CC2420ActiveMessageC component? 
Because I tried with no success. I also tried using the 
CC2420Config.setAddressRecognition(bool on) through CC2420ControlC, as u 
suggested in a previous mail.

Thanks in advance,
Tiago
