[Tinyos-help] Allocating address to a mote using the ActiveMessageAddressC component

[Steve McKown]

Hmmm.  It looks like the CC1000 radio implementation doesn't do hardware 
filtering of incoming packets by addr, so you may need to do nothing but call 
setAmAddress().  I haven't ever played around with the CC1000, so my quick 
glance might be wrong.
