When I saw your BlueTooth entry in the recent status report, I thought I'd comment on that, but then got distracted :) You've done some great work on BlueTooth. IMHO, it would be a mistake to try to un-NetGraph it; there have been lots of rumours about people porting the NetGraph framework to other OS's, and if BlueTooth support will provide yet one more reason for the need to do this, so be it :) NetGraph is a wonderful framework for writing drivers, and not limited to network drivers, either - as you have no doubt discovered so far - there should be no need to give up its advantages if it's possible to retain them and even gain much in portability for the writing of future drivers (should NetGraph run on more OS's).
