 For sure.  
There's no problem in allocating a new link type code for BT. 
If I remember well, libpcap actually already defines a linktype for BT (i would 
need to check). The important thing is defining the frame format used with such 
link type. 
  
Have a nice day

  support 
  
  Hi, sorry to hijack the 
  thread, but does anyone know if there will be a link type code available for 
  Bluetooth in pcap-ng?
  Thanks, Tyson.

  Nice!

  No wonder, the corresponding line in the 
    code says: /* XXX - convert timestamps into nsecs */ ;-)

  The timestamps currently won't work, but shouldn't 
    be too hard to fix. 
  I'll have a look ...

  P.S: The FCS is also not decoded, Wireshark will internally 
    always handle pcapng as: "don't know if FCS is there"
