The second try a committing the bluetooth code
Has been seen to work on several cards and communicating with several mobile phones to use them as modems etc. We are still talking with 3com to try get them to allow us to include the firmware for their pccard in the driver but the driver is here.. In the mean time it can be downloaded from the 3com website and loaded using the utility bt3cfw(8) (supplied) (instructions in the man page) Not yet linked to the build Submitted by: Maksim Yevmenkin <myevmenk@exodus.net> Approved by: re

+(HCI) layer
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/types.h
+.In netgraph/ng_message.h
+.In netgraph/netgraph.h
+.In netgraph/ng_hci.h
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+node type is a Netgraph node type that implements Bluetooth Host Controller
+Interface (HCI) layer as per chapter H1 of the Bluetooth Specification Book
+v1.1.
+.Sh INTRODUCTION TO BLUETOOTH
+Bluetooth is a short-range radio link intended to replace the cable(s)
+connecting portable and/or fixed electronic devices. Bluetooth operates
+in the unlicensed ISM band at 2.4 GHz. The Bluetooth protocol uses a
+combination of circuit and packet switching. Bluetooth can support an
+asynchronous data channel, up to three simultaneous synchronous voice
+channels, or a channel which simultaneously supports asynchronous data
+and synchronous voice. Each voice channel supports a 64 kb/s synchronous
+(voice) channel in each direction. The asynchronous channel can support
+maximal 723.2 kb/s asymmetric (and still up to 57.6 kb/s in the return
+direction), or 433.9 kb/s symmetric.
+.Pp
+The Bluetooth system provides a point-to-point connection (only two
+Bluetooth units involved), or a point-to-multipoint connection. In the
+point-to-multipoint connection, the channel is shared among several
+Bluetooth units. Two or more units sharing the same channel form a
+.Em piconet .
+One Bluetooth unit acts as the master of the piconet, whereas the other
+unit(s) acts as slave(s). Up to seven slaves can be active in the piconet.
+In addition, many more slaves can remain locked to the master in a so-called
+parked state. These parked slaves cannot be active on the channel, but remain
+synchronized to the master. Both for active and parked slaves, the channel
+access is controlled by the master.
+.Pp
+Multiple piconets with overlapping coverage areas form a
+.Em scatternet .
+Each piconet can only have a single master. However, slaves can participate
+in different piconets on a time-division multiplex basis. In addition, a
+master in one piconet can be a slave in another piconet. The piconets shall
+not be frequency-synchronized. Each piconet has its own hopping channel.
+.Ss Time slots
+The channel is divided into time slots, each 625 usec in length. The time
+slots are numbered according to the Bluetooth clock of the piconet master.
+The slot numbering ranges from 0 to 2^27 -1 and is cyclic with a cycle length
+of 2^27. In the time slots, master and slave can transmit packets.
+.Ss SCO link
+The SCO link is a symmetric, point-to-point link between the master and a
+specific slave. The SCO link reserves slots and can therefore be considered
+as a circuit-switched connection between the master and the slave. The SCO
+link typically supports time-bounded information like voice. The master can
+support up to three SCO links to the same slave or to different slaves. A
+slave can support up to three SCO links from the same master, or two SCO
+links if the links originate from different masters. SCO packets are never
+retransmitted.
+.Ss ACL link
+In the slots not reserved for SCO links, the master can exchange packets
+with any slave on a per-slot basis. The ACL link provides a packet-switched
+connection between the master and all active slaves participating in the
+piconet. Both asynchronous and isochronous services are supported. Between
+a master and a slave only a single ACL link can exist. For most ACL packets,
+packet retransmission is applied to assure data integrity.
+.Sh HOST CONTROLLER INTERFACE (HCI)
+The HCI provides a command interface to the baseband controller and link
+manager, and access to hardware status and control registers. This interface
+provides a uniform method of accessing the Bluetooth baseband capabilities.
+.Pp
+The HCI layer on the Host exchanges data and commands with the HCI firmware
+on the Bluetooth hardware. The Host Controller Transport Layer (i.e. physical
+bus) driver provides both HCI layers with the ability to exchange information
+with each other.
+.Pp
+The Host will receive asynchronous notifications of HCI events independent
+of which Host Controller Transport Layer is used. HCI events are used for
+notifying the Host when something occurs. When the Host discovers that an
+event has occurred it will then parse the received event packet to determine
+which event occurred.
+The next sections specify the HCI packet formats.
+.Ss HCI command packet
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+#define NG_HCI_CMD_PKT 0x01
+typedef struct {
+ u_int8_t type; /* MUST be 0x1 */
+ u_int16_t opcode; /* OpCode */
+ u_int8_t length; /* parameter(s) length in bytes */
+} __attribute__ ((packed)) ng_hci_cmd_pkt_t;
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The HCI command packet is used to send commands to the Host Controller
+from the Host. When the Host Controller completes most of the commands,
+a Command Complete event is sent to the Host. Some commands do not receive
+a Command Complete event when they have been completed. Instead, when the
+Host Controller receives one of these commands the Host Controller sends
+a Command Status event back to the Host when it has begun to execute the
+command. Later on, when the actions associated with the command have finished,
+an event that is associated with the sent command will be sent by the Host
+Controller to the Host.
+.Ss HCI event packet
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+#define NG_HCI_EVENT_PKT 0x04
+typedef struct {
+ u_int8_t type; /* MUST be 0x4 */

+} __attribute__ ((packed)) ng_hci_event_pkt_t;
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The HCI event packet is used by the Host Controller to notify the Host
+when events occur.
+.Ss HCI ACL data packet
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+#define NG_HCI_ACL_DATA_PKT 0x02
+typedef struct {
+ u_int8_t type; /* MUST be 0x2 */
+ u_int16_t con_handle; /* connection handle + PB + BC flags */

+.Pp
+HCI ACL data packets are used to exchange ACL data between the Host and
+Host Controller.
+.Ss HCI SCO data packet
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+#define NG_HCI_SCO_DATA_PKT 0x03
+typedef struct {
+ u_int8_t type; /* MUST be 0x3 */

+} __attribute__ ((packed)) ng_hci_scodata_pkt_t;
+.Ed
+.Pp
+HCI SCO data packets are used to exchange SCO data between the Host and
+Host Controller.
+.Sh HCI INITIALIZATION
+On initialization, HCI control application must issue the following HCI
+commands (in any order).
+.Bl -tag -width foobar
+.It Dv Read_BD_ADDR
+To obtain BD_ADDR of the Bluetooth unit.
+.It Dv Read_Local_Supported_Features
+To obtain the list of features supported by Bluetooth unit.
+.It Dv Read_Buffer_Size
+To determine the maximum size of HCI ACL and SCO HCI data packets (excluding
+header) that can be sent from the Host to the Host Controller. There are also
+two additional return parameters that specify the total number of HCI ACL and
+SCO data packets that the Host Controller can have waiting for transmission in
+its buffers.
+.El
+.Pp
+As soon as HCI initialization has been successfuly performed, HCI control
+application must turn on
+.Dq inited
+bit for the node. Once HCI node has been initialized all upsteam hooks
+will receive a
+.Dv NGM_HCI_NODE_UP
+Netgraph message defined as follows.
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+#define NGM_HCI_NODE_UP 112 /* HCI -> Upper */
+typedef struct {
+ u_int16_t pkt_size; /* max. ACL/SCO packet size (w/o hdr) */
+ u_int16_t num_pkts; /* ACL/SCO packet queue size */
+ u_int16_t reserved; /* place holder */
+ bdaddr_t bdaddr; /* bdaddr */
+} ng_hci_node_up_ep;
+.Ed
+.Sh HCI FLOW CONTROL
+HCI layer performs flow control on baseband connection basis (i.e. ACL and
+SCO link). Each baseband connection has
+.Em connection handle
+and queue of outgoing data packets. Upper layers protocols are allowed to
+send up to (
+.Dv num_pkts -
+.Dv pending )
+packets at one time. HCI layer will send
+.Dv NGM_HCI_SYNC_CON_QUEUE
+Netgraph messages to inform upper layers about current queue state for each
+connection handle. The
+.Dv NGM_HCI_SYNC_CON_QUEUE
+Netgraph message is defined as follows.
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+#define NGM_HCI_SYNC_CON_QUEUE 113 /* HCI -> Upper */
+typedef struct {
+ u_int16_t con_handle; /* connection handle */
+ u_int16_t completed; /* number of completed packets */
+} ng_hci_sync_con_queue_ep;
+.Ed
