[Smac-users] How to signal a failed transmission

Hi all,

if I read the code in SMACM correctly unicastDone and broadcastDone will 
be signalled wether the transmission succeeds or not. So there is no way 
to discern wether the packet has been sent or not without implementing 
some kind of arq on top of s-mac.

The active message stack on the other hand signals transmission failure in 
its sendDone function. So its a bit tricky to port modules from AM to 
s-mac since these modules often rely heavily on the sendDone success 
param.

Is there a simple way to assess wether or not a packet has been sent 
correctly or not, or do I have to implemet something?

Regards

Christian
