Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: Require CAP_NET_ADMIN for HCI User Channel operation
Date: Tue,  1 Oct 2013 07:40:01 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1380638401-39890-1-git-send-email-marcel@holtmann.org> (raw)

The HCI User Channel operation is an admin operation that puts the
device into promiscuous mode for single use. It is more suitable
to require CAP_NET_ADMIN than CAP_NET_RAW.
