As all identifying information is stored in the device
properties, this removes the need for child devices to
have a reserved area (struct btdev) in the softc, and
bthub(4) does no longer need to have a softc at all.
softc no longer contains 'struct device' by default
use 'device_t' instead of 'struct device *'
use device_xxx() accessor functions
remove casting of 'xxx_softc *' & 'struct device *'
use aprint_xxx_dev() routines
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)
remove pseudo-device btdev(4) and inherent limitations
add bthub(4) which autoconfigures at bluetooth controllers as they
are enabled. bluetooth devices now attach here.
btdevctl(8) and its cache is updated to handle new semantics
etc/rc.d/btdevctl is updated to configure devices from a list
in /etc/bluetooth/btdevctl.conf
Change the way in which bluetooth devices attach to system. The
new way is for devices to attach directly to a btdevN device via
its own control file /dev/btdevN.
- bthub(4) is replaced by btdev(4).
- /dev/bthubctl is replaced by /dev/btdevN.
- configuration now uses proplib(3) property lists.
- btcontrol(8) updated to use new API, and now uses private
- XML config file /var/db/btdev.xml.
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.
