Hello there,

Thanks for the information.And i can now find out the ioctl intearction stuff .But I think that RFCOMM layer is implemented as a kernel module .So it should use the same EXPORT_SYMBOL() concept to communicate with l2cap,why sockets?????
Is there any other way in which the kernel modules can interact among themselves?

Regards
