Ton, excuse my late reply. I was to busy, to do it earlier.

You are talking about the Jennic-Module, aren't you? Indeed, the Jennic module is a
one-chip solution, but the Meshnetics(Atmel Two Chip) module is smaller, consumes less
power, and utilise a ATM1281. For me, thats enough reasons to port the Atmel Zigbee-Stack
to iccavr.

regards,
Thomas
