Hi Marcel,

I was reading the archive about the story of BNEP.
and I see that Max was more interested in an
implementation with TUN/TAP device.
a breif description of fabricio was a VTun support of
BNEP packet:


>>extending VTun so it implements BNEP

>One way would be to implement BNEP support in vtund.
>Packets would be sent to a TAP (virtual Ethernet) and

My quetsion is : was there a Bluez release which use
TUN/TAP device?

regards,
benny
