How to use IEEE 802.15.4 radio with 6LoWPAN
-------------------------------------------

The instructions here are for RaspberryPi device and
OpenLabs 802.15.4 radio chip [1]. You can probably
get the OpenLabs 802.15.4 radio to work with other
devices like Beaglebone with little wiring and tweaking.

* Create ECA image and follow instructions in README.rpi file

* After booting ECA, load kernel modules (if not automatically
  loaded)
  # modprobe mac802154
  # modprobe at86rf230

* Setup network interfaces (see also [2])
  # iwpan dev wpan0 set pan_id 0xbeef
  # ip link add link wpan0 name lowpan0 type lowpan
  # ifconfig wpan0 up
  # ifconfig lowpan0 up
