Dear Maxim Krasnyansky,
Iam suresh srinivasan, doing my masters in computer
science at SMU. Iam currently looking at broadcasting in a bluetooth piconet.
>From my understanding from the bluetooth protocol stack is that broadcast
is not supported as of now. Iam trying do the following to broadcast a packet in the bluetooth
piconet:

1) Creating a connection(ACL) to all the slaves.
2) In function "HCI_ACL_SEND" the parameter "flag" in the function
hci_add_acl_hdr(skb,conn->handle,flags|ACL_START) is modified to flags|ACL_ACTIVE_BCAST".
Can i broadcast with the above changes? or do i ned some more changes?
Please, give me your valueable sugestions? please, guide me if iam in
the wrong direction.Eagerly waiting for your response,

Thanking you,
Warm regards,
suresh
