[Tinyos-help] What does SUCCESS refer to?

[Muhammad Azhar]

Hi...
   Thanks for ur reply, but I can't find MacControl in tinyos 2.  Instead, I 
found this interface - PacketAcknowledgements .  Looks easy to use, but I'm 
not sure where it should be wired to.  Should it be wired to LinkLayerC 
(i.e. PacketAcknowledgements -> LinkLayerC) or should it be wired to 
somewhere else?
   Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Azhar
