Actually, ieee802154 is better in this case, because as Dmitry
mentioned, an entire family of standards is implemented on the top of
it, including:

- ZigBee
- 6LoWPAN
- ISA100.11a
- WirelessHART
 - and probably something I don't know about

All of them (once implemented) will use ieee802.15.4 drivers. It is
better to avoid future confusion and use correct terminology from the
very beginning.

Kind regards,
Maxim
