Hello,
I've noticed that ACL_PTYPE_MASK is defined as the binary negation of
SCO_PTYPE_MASK in /include/net/bluetooth/hci.h .
Although this happens to be not wrong currently, because none of the
values (0x0020, 0x0040, 0x0080) used by HV1, HV2 and HV3 have a meaning
for ACL packets, there is AFAIK no norm stating that this won't change
(these values are just marked as "Reserved for future use" in the
Bluetooth Specification version 2.0).
Furthermore, value 0x0001 is marked as "Reserved for future use" for
both ACL and SCO packets. Therefore, by forbidding their use for SCO
packets, and defining the ACL mask as the SCO mask's negation, we are
allowing it's use for ACL packets, which could have unspecified results
on any hardware using a future Bluetooth Specification version.
I suggest the following patch :
--- old/include/net/bluetooth/hci.h 2005-03-26 04:28:36.000000000
+0100
+++ new/include/net/bluetooth/hci.h 2005-04-04 16:08:24.372117996
+0200

#define ACL_CONT 0x01
Note that this patch has the side effect of blocking any flag that is
not defined in hci.h for ACL packets (like 0x0002 : "2-DH1 may not be
used"), but I assume that using such a flag somewhere would just be a
bug.

there is no good reason to include such a patch. The problem with the
newer specifications is that the packet type is different for ACL and
SCO/eSCO connections and thus they don't overlap anymore. This means
that we need two different packet types that can be set by users. And
having the option to disable EDR is a good thing. With your patch this
is no longer possible. When we finally add full eSCO support, I will
think about how we can do this better.

Marcel
