Re: Request for DLT for new BlueZ Monitor

[Chris Kilgour <techie () whiterocker com>]

I'd like to suggest that "struct _pcap_bluetooth_monitor_header" is too generic a name when this header only applies to 
the internal workings of an operating system's HCI and adapter-lifetime traffic.

There are other forms of bluetooth monitoring that are not OS-specific nor even cover HCI.  For example open-source 
sniffers like ubertooth and gr-bluetooth capture at the RF level.  It's likely that a DLT allocation request will be 
forthcoming for capturing bluetooth over-the-air [1].
