bridging bluetooth bnep deviceswith kernel 2.6.6-*
The ifreq structure to br_dev_do_ioctl() gives you the interface index (rq->ifr_ifindex) which is currently not being used.
May be it can help..

Hmm, since all the blue tooth devices have the same address. Deleting the first one will cause the entry in the forwarding table to be deleted, that might cause your problem. Perhaps we need a reference count on the number of interfaces with the same address (yuck).
That seems like a reasonable answer. I believe there's also some workstation hardware with multiple Ethernet devices, all sharing the same MAC address (== hostid). It's not just Bluetooth. How does this work with VLAN bridging?
Precisely what is it that's indexed on the interface's MAC address, rather than the (index of the) physical interface itself?
