Marcel,

I was going through latest 2.6 updates and noticed
	"Generic Bluetooth USB driver"
Why do we need it ?

The driver code looks awfully similar to my very first implementation of the hci_usb.
ie No URB queuing, etc.
I think the only thing that is wrong with hci_usb is the custom urb queuing code
(ie _urb stuff). That code was temporary at the time I put it in (year ago now). 
Greg and I were discussing merging it into USB core. I think we should just do 
that instead.
If you think URB queuing is no longer needed (I doubt it) then maybe we can just
rip that part out.

Comments ?
