We could extend it to BNEP/PAN as well where we handle the whole connection logic inside the kernel. That way you can easily enable/disable PAN or 6loWPAN. bluetoothd or even an external 6loWPAN daemon could deal with connection establishment and acceptance. > > However more importantly this could be easily confined into bluetooth_network.ko at some point in the future and then automatically loaded via bt-chan-4 module aliases.

Is this something for the future or should I implement this in this patchset?
