So please use proper names and not confuse people > with IEEE numbers ;) This gonna happen, as we are most probably going to implement 6lowpan on top of our stack. 6lowpan is a way to encapsulate IPv6 frames into IEEE 802.15.4 and has nothing in common with ZigBee. Moreover ZigBee is a trademark with strict rules upon it's usage. Our lawyers are currently investigating if it's possible to use this name in projects like Linux kernel which are open-source, non-related to any project but OTOH can be encapsulated in any commercial project. IEEE 802.15.4 is a term like IEEE 802.11. We do have mac80211, we have had (until recently) ieee80211 dir, so why bother? For Bluetooth naming directories 'bluetooth' is logical, as 802.15.1 standard is a less known name, doesn't incorporate latest changes from Bluetooth, etc. -- With best wishes Dmitry -- 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
