Current status on BLE development

Hi,

It is common to see questions in the ML or in the IRC asking the
status of BLE development and where the get the source code.
Below a short summary of our latest development on Bluetooth Low Energy:

* Discovery procedure over management interface (kernel): patches sent
to the mailing list, waiting maintainer approval

* SM(Security Manager): kernel & userspace
- Just Works key generation method is working and accepted upstream;
- Key Exchange and Storage: a first version of the implementation is
implemented and working, but before being accepted upstream it needs
some changes;
- Passkey Entry: Still not implemented;
- Out of Band: Still not implemented;
- Address Resolution: Planned but still not implemented;
- Command Signing: Still not implemented;

* LE connection improvements: under development

Proximity Monitor
=============
* Userspace
- New D-Bus API(improvement) was proposed and implemented, patches not
upstream[3]

* Kernel
- New RSSI Threshold Monitoring implemented. Required by Proximity
Path Loss. Under internal revision and will be sent to mailing list
after it.

git trees
===============
* For stable LE support on kernel, use Gustavo Padovan's
bluetooth-next tree:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/padovan/bluetooth-next-2.6.git
(it doesn't contain the patches for interleaved discovery using
management. Missing SM key distribution(SM phase 3).

* Unstable kernel with Interleaved Discovery, RSSI Threshold monitor,
remaining SM patches, changes in connection parameters based on
Proximity and Thermometer requirements:
http://git.infradead.org/users/vcgomes/linux-2.6.git (branch
proximity-integration)

* BlueZ Userspace
[3] git://git.infradead.org/users/cktakahasi/bluez.git proximity-devel

Regards,
Claudio
