IEEE 802.15.4 is a standard for communication in small
low-rate wireless personal area networks (WPAN). While
802.15.4 is a MAC- and PHY- layer standard only, several
common protocols commonly sit on top of it such as ZigBee,
MiWi, and 6LoWPAN. The goal of this project is to create an
implementation of 802.15.4 and several of the protocols
which run on top of it (primarily 6LoWPAN) for Linux.
It's worth noting that the name linux-zigbee is somewhat of
a misnomer. While this project was originally started to
create a ZigBee implementation for Linux, licensing
restrictions put in place by the ZigBee Alliance make it
impossible for an implementation of ZigBee to ever become
part of the Linux kernel. Once this licensing issue was
discovered, this project's primary focus shifted to IEEE
802.15.4 and 6LoWPAN. Other higher-layer standards may be
added at a future time.
The 802.15.4 stack contains kernel components, which are
part of the mainline Linux kernel, and userspace components,
available in this package.

Enable this option to install the Linux-ZigBee test programs
to the target.
config BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_ZIGBEE_OLD_KERNEL_COMPAT
bool "compatibility with older kernels"
help
Enable this option to get compatibility of the Linux-ZigBee
userspace tools with old kernels. Recent kernels know the
802.15.4 line discipline as N_IEEE802154 with the value 25,
but some older kernels had it with the values 22 or 19.
