to remove the frobbing that drivers must do in the hci_unit structure.
- driver provides a static const interface descriptor
- hci_unit is allocated by hci_attach() rather than part of softc
- statistics are compiled by driver and provided on request
- driver provides output methods and is responsible for output queue
- stack provides input methods and is responsible for input queue
- mutex is used to arbitrate device queue access
the Linux (BlueZ) API.
- L2CAP or RFCOMM connections can require the baseband radio link
mode be any of:
authenticated (devices are paired)
encrypted (implies authentication)
secured (encryption, plus generate new link key)
- for sockets, the mode is set using setsockopt(2) and the socket
connection will be aborted if the mode change fails.
- mode settings will be applied during connection establishment, and
for safety, we enter a wait state and will only proceed when the mode
settings are successfuly set.
- It is possible to change the mode on already open connections, but
not possible to guarantee that data already queued (from either end)
will not be delivered. (this is a feature, not a bug)
- bthidev(4) and rfcomm_sppd(1) support "auth", "encrypt" and
"secure" options
- btdevctl(8) by default enables "auth" for HIDs, and "encrypt" for
keyboards (which are required to support it)
Provide an ioctl to set the SCO mtu value in the controller and
place limits in the SCO code such that only packets of this size
may be sent.
Move the mtu option from btsco(4) and btdevctl(8), to the
btconfig(8) program.
Remove temporary BLUETOOTH_SCO kernel option, and enable SCO
socket access.
Fix incoming connection handling for btsco(4) and SCO sockets.
Fix documentation to reflect the new world order.
NetBSD Foundation Membership still pending.) This stack was written by
Iain under sponsorship from Itronix Inc.
The stack includes support for rfcomm networking (networking via your
bluetooth enabled cell phone), hid devices (keyboards/mice), and headsets.
Drivers for both PCMCIA and USB bluetooth controllers are included.
