I was getting a little confused WRT what was the current best path. Where can I find info on the hciattach patches, etc? I don't recall seeing anything about that in my searching. I figured I'd have to use a different BT module, so I'm working with prototyping on a laptop until I get my gumstix gear together. I need to figure out how to use the HFP to get handsfree device events, and I figure that may take a bit of time.
