11 IEEE 802.15.4 is a standard for communication in small
12 low-rate wireless personal area networks (WPAN). While
13 802.15.4 is a MAC- and PHY- layer standard only, several
14 common protocols commonly sit on top of it such as ZigBee,
15 MiWi, and 6LoWPAN. The goal of this project is to create an
16 implementation of 802.15.4 and several of the protocols
17 which run on top of it (primarily 6LoWPAN) for Linux.
19 It's worth noting that the name linux-zigbee is somewhat of
20 a misnomer. While this project was originally started to
21 create a ZigBee implementation for Linux, licensing
22 restrictions put in place by the ZigBee Alliance make it
23 impossible for an implementation of ZigBee to ever become
24 part of the Linux kernel. Once this licensing issue was
25 discovered, this project's primary focus shifted to IEEE
26 802.15.4 and 6LoWPAN. Other higher-layer standards may be
27 added at a future time.
29 The 802.15.4 stack contains kernel components, which are
30 part of the mainline Linux kernel, and userspace components,
31 available in this package.

47 Enable this option to get compatibility of the Linux-ZigBee
48 userspace tools with old kernels. Recent kernels know the
49 802.15.4 line discipline as N_IEEE802154 with the value 25,
50 but some older kernels had it with the values 22 or 19.
