Ok, this answers my question, you send TX_ENABLE command during the
first frame transmission. I have to admit that it sounds a bit
hackish. I would prefer to keep the driver as simple as possible,
makes it easier to maintain it that way.

I would like to step back and first look at the problem you are trying
to solve and maybe there's a way we can fix the join command. Was it
something to do with firmware sending extra frames? Unfortunately TI
firmwares are notorious for that.
