I just had a look, and thanks for pointing me there. But that seems very
device independant. To me it seems its a generic way to record URBs on a
USB bus in pcap, but correct me if I am wrong.

In contrast we have a very specific device, and there's no such thing as
a cordless or DECT layer within linux (yet). If there was we'd
appreciate to interface and record there...
But as of now there's a char device for a special HW, with ioctls and I
doubt anyone believes in transporting that very specifig thingie in pcap...
