pcap_findalldevs doesn't return bluetooth interfaces known to hcitool

["Barry Reinhold" <bbr () lampreynetworks com>]

I am attempting to use libpcap to capture Bluetooth exchanges
(DLT_BLUETOOTH) and am working with the head of the cvs repository.

The environment is a CentOS 5 system with kernel  2.6.18. It has a USB
Bluetooth adaptor that shows up as hci0 when the "hcitool dev" command is
given. However, this interface, hci0, is not returned by pcap_findalldevs -
is it expected to be returned by pcap_findalldevs or are there other
requirements outside of being visible to hcitool before the interface will
be seen by pcap?

More general input welcomed.
