the ATUSB is designed as following:

- RF chip connecting via SPI to a microcontroller
- This controller bridges between SPI on the RF side and USB on the
  host side
- The linux host drives the RF over USB. Are you using some "SPI
  packaged in USB" for this or the serial protocol defined by the
  linux-zigbee project?
(- Controller flashing is done via DFU?)

Did I get all the pieces correctly sorted out?
