the core architecture is different, because BlueZ hardware is not a
network device. The IrDA stack made this mistake and so did Affix. The
BlueZ uses its own hardware interface. Our driver interface is a lot
much cleaner.

I wrote some articles for German magazines and there are also some
papers on the web. And a lot of my presentation slides are available.

Regards

Marcel
