Hugo,

I think this is a question for the avr-chat-list, by the way.

I tried this a while back.  I got everything to compile, but no output
on TX, and Atmel's apps people (RF apps, not Eric & company - they are
excellent) decided to put me off, so I put the thing in the historical
file.  Been a big fan of Chipcon CC2420 + ARM7 myself, although that's
not the sleep-for-a-year current draw you might be looking for - I've
got several CC2420 + AtMega162 designs cranking along fine too.
You'll get stuck with doing your own FCC/EC testing if you go that
route, however.  Also, you might want to watch out if you're not
programming over jtag - I have no hard data, but having the SPI lines
on an Atmega168 connected to the CC2420 and AVRISP2 fried several
CC2420's before I put 1k resistors in-line with the CC2420...

That's what I know.

Best,
Steve
