Linux kernel patches
by Marcel Holtmann


Introduction

These Linux kernel patches reflects the latest cutting edges of the Linux Bluetooth subsystem. They are snapshots of the Bitkeeper repository bluetooth-2.4 at linux-mh.bkbits.net. The patches from this site are distributed without warranty of any kind.

The latest Bluetooth patch for the 2.6 Linux kernel can be found on the BlueZ site and a short description how to build and patch a new kernel for Debian GNU/Linux can be found here.

The latest book for driver development and the 2.6 kernel is now online available.
