+Open Tasks
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* There is a lot of missing features for enum definition to some string definition in iwpan which can be lookup in 802.15.4 standard. Words say more than numbers...
+** channel/page to frequency
+** cca modes/opts
+** no aret mode for max_frame_retires -1
+** etc
+* Missing features which wireless has and wpan not. Since we based our implementation on wireless we should sync "good patches" from wireless branch.
+** Something like http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg321088.html[net: nl80211 - pass name_assign_type to rdev_add_virtual_intf()]
+** trace functionality for rdev/driver_ops http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/bluetooth/bluetooth-next.git/tree/net/wireless/rdev-ops.h[rdev-ops.h] and
+http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/bluetooth/bluetooth-next.git/tree/net/mac80211/driver-ops.h[driver-ops.h]
+** Whatever you want and find
+* rework
+** missing features in nl802154, crypto etc.
+** new frame parsing style in mac802154 and ieee802154 based on mac80211 frame parsing design. Draft is https://github.com/linux-wpan/linux-wpan-next/blob/wpan_rework_rfc/net/mac802154/rx.c[mac802154 rx] and
+https://github.com/linux-wpan/linux-wpan-next/blob/wpan_rework_rfc/net/ieee802154/6lowpan/rx.c[6LoWPAN]. Crypto need to be done at first, otherwise I can't test it.
+** remove cb context from dev_hard_header and introduce generic header generation functions like https://github.com/linux-wpan/linux-wpan-next/blob/wpan_rework_rfc/net/ieee802154/header_ops.c#L80[header_ops]. Here too, crypto need to be done at first.
+* systemd
+** add basic functionality for nl802154 and 6lowpan setup in systemd-networkd
+* network-manager
+* devicetree extended addr setting, draft is here http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wpan/msg01503.html[ieee802154: add usual way to get extended address via device tree]
+* RPL? - not our job, need to go through ipv6 netdev community, but we should do something to have a "started" mainline solution.
+* cleanup/fix 802.15.4 af raw/dgram socket code. We should use bluetooth socket code as example.
+
 Rework
