Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [cgutman] 47761: [FBTUSB] - Import the FreeBT USB generic bluetooth driver (abandoned) - Some slight modifications to make it build - WMI is currently commented out because our WMI headers are lacking (particularly wmistr.h)

[Ged Murphy]

Not again.
Why on earth do we need a bluetooth driver when we don't even have a stable
OS to run it on?

The general direction is to actually get rid of potentially useless  
stuff and concentrate on fixing stuff we already have.

How much work does this driver need before it gets even remote  
usable? I didn't investigate, is it part of a whole stack, or is it  
like usbdriver - all usb stack included into one driver for  
compatibility purposes? If so, it might be useful, but again I'm not  
very sure what to do with Bluetooth in ReactOS.

WBR,
Aleksey.

Again, we need to trim down and modularize stuff in trunk. Buildtime is
getting longer with presents like this driver added to it.

What is wrong with a new tree called rosdevices? SIS and VIA drivers
can be added when they are made available.

Just an idea,
James

This is a good idea. We should move all uneeded stuff off the trunk.

  This driver is 100% WinXP compatible and needs the XP style USB stack 
and WMI to work. So its still useless for ROS atm, but later it might 
work without big problems as soon as the USB Stack works and will 
provide basic Bluetooth support.

And regarding the argument tht it increases build time... its not being 
build by default, its just in the tree.
