In 11 years, noone has bothered to implement this important protocol stack. BLUG in cooperation with Vesta Brevdueforening has given you rfc 1149 support for Linux. While an amazing step for Linux, I've tried it, and found a few problems. While it works well in many areas, in extreme environments it can fail. Deserts and the arctic transmissions seem to have the most profound effect, although I have seen problems in certain areas with large numbers of avian predators.
Some care needs to be taken while handling the transmission.
A system for recovering from failures should be considered if the worst should happen, as this system is unlikely to reboot properly. Also, while widely reported, I've seen no problems in areas of high rice content. Now, the reasonable solutions to this problem are similar to what one would be doing when crafting a protocol. I'd like to see Linux implement RFC 2795 instead. Be careful of the Hawk protocol as it is known to Embrace Extend and Extinguish the Pigeon protocol.
