From: Andrei Emeltchenko <andrei.emeltchenko@xxxxxxxxx> RFC for Software / Virtual _DRAFT_ implementation of Bluetooth High Speed by using wireless driver. Currently it can be used for testing Bluetooth A2MP protocol. Please comment is this right way of implementing things like: using virtual interface to enable AMP. Shall I use module instead? Shall I put files to mac80211 or use other location? Is name "vamp" OK? Other variants are: softamp, soft_amp, soft_amp80211, etc. Main ideas: - Use existing wireless infrastructure nl80211, mac80211. - Use virtual interface of type NL80211_IFTYPE_VIRTUAL_AMP80211. Then all drivers supporting virtual interface should work. After modifying iw it will be enabled by adding new virtual interface. # iw phy <physical device> interface add vamp type vamp # iw dev phy#0 Interface vamp ifindex 6 type Virtual AMP ... # hciconfig hci1: Type: AMP Bus: VIRTUAL BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0 DOWN RX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0 TX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 commands:0 errors:0 ...
