Everything is there on USB stick. Interface, Zigbee chip, antenna, power, etc..

For development purposes you don't want to download the stack into the USB stick, you just want to use USB as a transparent pass-through to the Zigbee chip. I have a Raven kit ordered, it will be here next week. > -- > With best wishes > Dmitry > -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
