It looks like there's a separate linux-wpan list now and people who are interested about wpan can join that list, right?

I actually forgot to drop this list from the Cc list in the preparation patches for this version, I did however dropped it in the v2. Sorry for the noise. Thanks, Miquèl

As well we took some ideas from wireless as base. Moreover we were talking about things which wireless already solved. I was hoping to get some feedback if somebody knows the right do's and don'ts of managing a wireless subsystem and I am pretty sure some 802.11 developers have more knowledge about it than some 802.15.4 developers (including myself). I apologise for this. Please Miquel drop wireless for your future patch-series. Miquel please slow down the amount of patches. First sending the fixes, then new features in small series one by one. And with one by one I mean after they are applied. - Alex

Yes no problem, I didn't want to flood you, but I was eager to share the new sync tx implementation that we discussed earlier this week, which meant I also needed to share the two 'small' series in between. Thanks, Miquèl
These few patches are preparation patches and light cleanups before the introduction of scan support.
