IEEE 802.15.4 is a standard for communication in small
|
low-rate wireless personal area networks (WPAN). While
|
802.15.4 is a MAC- and PHY- layer standard only, several
|
common protocols commonly sit on top of it such as ZigBee,
|
MiWi, and 6LoWPAN. The goal of this project is to create an
|
implementation of 802.15.4 and several of the protocols
|
which run on top of it (primarily 6LoWPAN) for Linux.
|
|
It's worth noting that the name linux-zigbee is somewhat of
|
a misnomer. While this project was originally started to
|
create a ZigBee implementation for Linux, licensing
|
restrictions put in place by the ZigBee Alliance make it
|
impossible for an implementation of ZigBee to ever become
|
part of the Linux kernel. Once this licensing issue was
|
discovered, this project's primary focus shifted to IEEE
|
802.15.4 and 6LoWPAN. Other higher-layer standards may be
|
added at a future time.
|
|
The 802.15.4 stack contains kernel components, which are
|
part of the mainline Linux kernel, and userspace components,
|
available in this package.

Enable this option to install the Linux-ZigBee test programs

help
|
Enable this option to get compatibility of the Linux-ZigBee
|
userspace tools with old kernels. Recent kernels know the
|
802.15.4 line discipline as N_IEEE802154 with the value 25,
|
but some older kernels had it with the values 22 or 19.
