i was thinking about doing most of the

http://git.kernel.org/?p=bluetooth/bluez.git;a=blob_plain;f=lib/hci.c;hb=1fa3750cb917358a6fb6bc718429c9000dd61ab3

starting from

int hci_inquiry(...)

and all the way down to the end of the file :) basically map dev_id to
unit numbers, i.e. dev_id 0 is "ubt0" node, etc.

i'm a bit concerned that if we follow linux too closely someone might
throw a hissy fit about bsd stealing linux's code and not using gpl :)
so we have to tread lightly here, imo :)

and, btw, i do not think i'm going to create a separate libhci for
this. existing libbluetooth is perfectly fine.

thanks,
