USB API status && bluetooth issue remind

["Abeni Paolo" <paolo.abeni () telecomitalia it>]

hello,

I would like to signal that the long awaited USB sniffing binary interface has been finally merged into mainline linux 
kernel, starting from last version (2.6.20-rc1). No changes where applied to the kernel API, so current pcap code 
[should] just work.

I would like to recall attention on the issue of current bluetooth sniffing code (cut && paste from previous message):

The transfer direction (which is available in the hci socket ancillary data) bit is not provided. To add such data
a pseudo haeader should be introduced, but this will change the data link format (not included yet in any
official libpcap release AFAIK). It's a real pity, since only a bit of information (In/Out) is required to
be added.

Should we change the BT data link format to fix this ?!?

best regards,

Paolo
