I'll tack on tosmac (the tinyos protocol).
The platforms I support have out of kernel support for a cc2420 (802.15.4) radio
using that protocol. In the embedded sensors field it seems to be
pretty common to use linux nodes as gateways to systems running various realtime
/ light weight OSes.

As Maxim stated there are a lot of protocols out there.

Thank you to Dmitry and co for your work on this project, I'll be following
your progress with interest (and when I have a sec adding support for the cc2420
if no one else does it first ;)
