Hi all,

I am trying to find a widely supported (and available) ZigBee USB
device with Linux. I understand there are some GPL related issues with
ZigBee, but there seems to be a couple related drivers available. In
particular, this device:
http://www.adaptivem2m.com/zigbee-technology/zigbee-usb-dongle.htm

I could get this, but I wanted to get some general feedback first to
see if there is something different that is more well updated. It
seems like the last driver I could find for this was from 2007.

Has anyone had any personal experience with ZigBee and Linux and have
any advice?

Thanks!
George

I'm not sure anyone on this list has experience with ZigBee.  I know
there is some ieee802.15.4 support in the kernel, but I'm not sure
where that is discussed (other than netdev).  Hopefully someone on
the Cc list is aware?
