 If the stack from Dresden Elektronik is desired for some reason, it can be downloaded from their website.
 The downloading / installation is a 3 step process:

−	A pre-prepared version of the stack has been made available on ATI's server (currently based on Atmel MAC v2.6.1). All that is needed is to download it from [https://strudel.pld.ttu.ee/owncloud/public.php?service=files&t=e903693f1b17b2ba57e38ff0a4641354 here] and unpack it.
−
−	~~This version also includes some additions to the stack that the Dresden Elektronik version lacks:~~
−	* MAC-level support for deRFmega256. '''Note:''' 6LoWPAN connections on deRFmega256 are currently not supported.
−	* Updated AT91Lib. Adds support for PWM on ARM devices.
