what common tools do you wanna use here. We actually do not wanna have
them show up as netdev devices at all. AMP connections don't have IP
addresses or anything else for that matter. We do not even need the
statistics here since they will be counted within HCI AMP controller in
the Bluetooth subsystem.
If you wanna do IP over AMP, it would be via BNEP. And the netdev you
are getting would come as bnep0 from the Bluetooth stack and not via the
mac80211 stack.

Marcel
