Description
We want to be able to establish both connections to existing bluetooth access
points, as well as act ourselves as access point for other bluetooth devices.

The main support will be the PAN profile with BNEP as underlaying protocol. The
idea is to transform the pand program into bluetoothd-service-network that will
act in NAP and GN roles. Then it has control a bridge device that will forward
packages over GPRS or allow access into the device itself.
For PANU role (client) it needs to detect other access points in range and then
connect to them. Getting the routing right seems to be hardest part since for
the user there should be no difference if it is via Bluetooth, WiFi?, GRPS or USB.
A proper D-Bus interface has been specified, yet.
