BthPort - How do I get the connection?

I notice that there are a series of Bluetooth functions that talk to and
return a handle to BthPort. I need something like "\\?\BthPort" that I can
call from another driver. Unfortunately MS made all the control calls only
callable from another device driver (IRP_MJ_INTERNAL_DEVICE_CONTROL) and not
from the App layer so I need to write a relay driver to call SCO. I see that
BthPen, BthModem, BthEnum, and BthUSB have calls.

What is the exported device name for BthPort?

Thanks,
-Erik

bthenum will enumerate your PDO and when you attach to it, it will forward
io you send to the PDO to bthport. this is how all of the BRBs work

Could you please tell me where an example of this is? I haven't written an
NT driver since 1996 and am a bit rusty.

Thanks,

if you have not written a driver in over 10 years, alot has happened. you
should familiarize yourself with pnp and power and WDM in general. there is
a bluetooth sample driver in the 6001 WDK,
WinDDK\6001.18000\src\bth\bthecho. i would suggest you that start with
sample.

The newest WDK available from microsoft.com is version 6000. How do I get
the sample from 6001?

Whoops! Sorry. I see that the new WDK 6001 came out two weeks ago, just
after I downloaded version 6000. *sigh*
