Yeah sure, I don't know neither. Anyway, you gave me lot of help on
the at86rf230 driver, thank you!
I found out how to rewrite the driver, I will do my test tomorrow and
I think I know why the driver wrote on buf[0] instead of buf[1] which
will mean that I won't need to edit your driver because it is right!
But I need the board to try so let's wait tomorrow. :-)
