[lwip-users] [lwip] IOCTL

[Recker, John]

I've been looking at lwip with the idea of using it
to run tcp/ip across a bluetooth connection. Seems pretty
doable, but there are BT features that aren't easily
exposed through the standard socket style interface.
(The primary issue is that Bluetooth doesn't expose
a "party-line" interface like a ethernet wire. Instead,
a bunch of work must be done to establish a connection
prior to issueing the first network packet).

So it seems like adding a ioctlsocket call would a reasonable
compromise.

I would like to guarantee order of execution (eg previously
issued API calls execute prior to calling my ioctl). Is there
a way to do this, or would I be best off creating a new message
type and using api_msg_post?

Any suggestions are appreciated...

thanx,

jr
