* mac802154: allocation of ieee802154 devicealex.bluesman.smirnov@gmail.com2012-05-161-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An interface to allocate and register ieee802154 compatible device. The allocated device has the following representation in memory: +-----------------------+ | struct wpan_phy | +-----------------------+ | struct mac802154_priv | +-----------------------+ | driver's private data | +-----------------------+ Used by device drivers to register new instance in the stack.

* mac802154: basic ieee802.15.4 device structuresalex.bluesman.smirnov@gmail.com2012-05-161-0/+126
The IEEE 802.15.4 Working Group focuses on the standardization of the bottom two layers of ISO/OSI protocol stack: Physical (PHY) and MAC. The MAC layer provides access control to a shared channel and reliable data delivery. The main functions performed by the MAC sublayer are: association and disassociation, security control, optional star network topology functions, such as beacon generation and Guaranteed Time Slots (GTSs) management, generation of ACK frames (if used), and, finally, application support for the two possible network topologies described in the standard. This is an initial commit which describes main data structures needed for ieee802.15.4 compatible devices representation in the MAC layer.
