PATCH: Support for Bluetooth NAP devices



Bluetooth NAP devices are pretty simple really.   You connect and (at
least in Linux) they emulate an ethernet device.

However, NetworkManager doesn't work with these devices because HAL
gives them the capability and category of "net.bluetooth".  Attached
are a patch and a HAL fdi file.  To connect to a Bluetooth NAP device
on Linux, do:
pand -n -c $BSSID -d NAP

With the attached patch/fdi file, NetworkManager will automatically
pick up the device and use it when connected.

Questions? Comments?
