It's a Rematch in SCO's Appeal: Jacobs for Novell, Singer for SCO

Morrison & Foerster's Michael A. Jacobs will once again be representing Novell at oral argument in SCO's second appeal:
02-Dec-2010 9820392 - Oral Argument Acknowledgment Form filed by Novell, Inc.. Served on 02-Dec-2010. Manner of Service: ECF/NDA.
So it's a rematch, Boies Schiller's Stuart Singer for SCO [PDF] and Jacobs for Novell, just like at oral argument in SCO's first appeal.
If you are planning to attend the January 20th oral argument at the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver, Colorado, and I hope you are since the court doesn't in the normal course provide transcripts, be sure to call the court about a week beforehand, to make sure of what you can and can't have with you in the way of digital equipment and to verify the precise date, time, and courtroom, which will be announced about a week before it happens if there is a change. Right now, it's scheduled for January 20, 2011 at 9:00 am MST in Courtroom IV, Byron White United States Courthouse, Denver, at the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, but verify closer to the date. Last time, laptops were allowed inside, but cell phones were confiscated and returned after the hearing. If you are allowed to bring your laptops in again this time, you might want to have some resources handy, at least SCO's appeal brief, Novell's opposition, and SCO's reply. It's SCO's appeal, so the topics will be those they raised in their briefs.

NAME
btsco -- Bluetooth SCO Audio SYNOPSIS
btsco* at bthub? audio* at audiobus? DESCRIPTION
The btsco driver provides support for Bluetooth SCO Audio devices through the audio(4) driver. The btsco driver must be configured at run time with the btdevctl(8) program. The following properties are used by the btsco driver during autoconfiguration: local-bdaddr Local device address. remote-bdaddr Remote device address. service-name The btsco driver matches the 'HF' and 'HSET' services. For the 'HF' service, the btsco device will, on open(2), listen for incom- ing connections from the remote device. Otherwise, btsco will attempt to initiate a connection to the remote device. rfcomm-channel This integer value is not used directly, but will be stored and passed via the BTSCO_INFO ioctl as below: SCO connections require a baseband connection between the two devices before they can be created. The btsco driver does not create this, but can provide information to facilitate an application setting up a control channel prior to use, via the BTSCO_INFO ioctl(2) call on the mixer device, which returns a btsco_info structure as follows: #include <dev/bluetooth/btsco.h> struct btsco_info { bdaddr_t laddr; /* controller bdaddr */ bdaddr_t raddr; /* headset bdaddr */ uint8_t channel; /* RFCOMM channel */ int vgs; /* mixer index speaker */ int vgm; /* mixer index mic */ }; #define BTSCO_INFO _IOR('b', 16, struct btsco_info) The btsco driver can be configured to act in Connect or Listen mode. In Connect mode, the btsco driver will initiate a connection to the remote device on an open(2) call, whereas in Listen mode, open(2) will block until the remote device initiates the connection.

The btsco driver was written for NetBSD 4.0 by Iain Hibbert under the sponsorship of Itronix, Inc. BUGS
btsco takes no notice of the HCI Voice Setting in the Bluetooth controller, and this must be 0x0060 (the default) as alternate values are currently unsupported. BSD
