    net: add IEEE 802.15.4 socket family implementation · 9ec76716
    Sergey Lapin authored
    Add support for communication over IEEE 802.15.4 networks. This implementation
    is neither certified nor complete, but aims to that goal. This commit contains
    only the socket interface for communication over IEEE 802.15.4 networks.
    One can either send RAW datagrams or use SOCK_DGRAM to encapsulate data
    inside normal IEEE 802.15.4 packets.
    
    Configuration interface, drivers and software MAC 802.15.4 implementation will
    follow.
    
    Initial implementation was done by Maxim Gorbachyov, Maxim Osipov and Pavel
    Smolensky as a research project at Siemens AG. Later the stack was heavily
    reworked to better suit the linux networking model, and is now maitained
    as an open project partially sponsored by Siemens.
