Hello :-) I am about to design a device that will use IEEE 802.15.4. I am considering use of ZigBee or XBee... Does FreeBSD support these protocols/devices/networks? Do you have experience in these protocols? Which one would be better to use? Both ZigBee and XBee seems to be closed and exclusive, however ZigBee seems to be a "better standard" while XBee seems to be a standard for itself, so it seems ZigBee would have wider coverage of available devices? Am I correct? Is 6LoWPAN supported by FreeBSD? As I understand 6LoWPAN use IEEE 802.15.4 for transport so it has not much to do with ZigBee/XBee..? Any hints appreciated :-) Tomek -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
