Implement 16 bit mode for reading MAC addresses #11

Closed danbim closed 13 years ago

danbim commented 13 years ago

Most of the time sensor nodes are used in 16 bit mode for addressing. Also our legacy drivers and tools only used the lowest 16 bit of the MAC address to identify a device. The current implementation of the Device Observer takes the full 64 bit of the MAC address and is thereby "incompatible" with the legacy code.

Introduce a 16 bit mode which is on by default.
