Subject: [PATCH series v1] IEEE 802.15.4 MAC layer basic implementation

Hi all,

the following patch series add basic support for IEEE 802.15.4 Medium Access
Control layer.

The IEEE 802.15.4 Working Group focuses on the standardization of the
bottom two layers of ISO/OSI protocol stack: Physical (PHY) and MAC.
The MAC layer provides access control to a shared channel and reliable
data delivery.

This series provide only basic features:
 - interface for drivers registration
 - RX/TX datapaths
 - reduced mlme operations
 - monitor device type support (used by network sniffers, e.g. Wireshark)
 - IEEE 802.15.4 loopback driver
 - documentation update


--
Since last post, series has been reworked to provide support for monitor device
and loopback driver only.

The following changes since commit d1d182e00d72300e05b18e28372fab003d8d4a58:

  wimax/i2400m: remove an unused variable (2011-12-16 15:57:03 -0500)
