I never said that I rewrote the whole thing ;) Why should I do this if
the code is good ;)

The mainly new part is that all HCI commands and events are now present
(I also have a patch for the Bluetooth 1.2 ones). Some of them need some
more attention, but in general we have now a full API for the HCI layer.

I came to the same conclusion and I am working on it since last week.
