Abstract
The present invention provides a method and computer program product for providing, over a RF link conforming to the Bluetooth specification, a network message protocol which is bus-independent and was originally designed for bus-attached networking devices. One such network message protocol is the NDIS device management protocol. In such a manner, many computer software products designed to operate over a hard-wired (or bus-attached) network can also be used over a Bluetooth wireless network.
