Marcel,

As per our last discussion, i am attaching a patch for the generic
netlink interface.
I am also attaching a test program (can be compiled with -lnl ) to
test the interface.

I am using "flags" to bring up the device and returning "changed",
which indicate the changed bits in the flags.
right now the module only supports 'up', 'iscan' and 'pscan'.
so i can issue a NEWHOST command with HCI_UP | HCI_PSCAN | HCI_ISCAN.
I am not sure if this is the right approach.
OR Do you want individual commands for operations ?

Let me know what you think of this.

Cheers,
Alok.
