Subject: [PATCH 0/6] HID: Add a stable method for retrieving the client MAC address of a HID device
Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2014 12:32:47 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1391189573-2591-1-git-send-email-frank.praznik@oh.rr.com> (raw)
Currently there is no reliable way for a device module or hidraw application to
retrieve the client MAC address of the associated wireless device. This series
of patches adds a stable way of retrieving this information.
The first patch adds a new client_addr member to the hid_device struct. This
member, when populated, will be guaranteed to contain the client hardware
address of a connected wireless device.
The second patch modifies HIDP to populate the client_addr member of the
hid_device struct with the client MAC address of the connected wireless device.
The third patch adds support for setting the client_addr value in a uhid
device.
The final patches add support for retrieving the client_addr value as a string
in the hidraw interface via a new ioctl called HIDIOCGRAWCLIENTADDR. The
hidraw documentation and example program are also updated.
