Re: [Bluez-users] getting bluetooth v1.2, success report

[Marco Trudel <mtrudel@gmx.ch>]

Hello

I downloaded the Bluetooth Firmware Updater from apple, putted my dongle 
into the apple and run the updater. everything went perfectly fine...
i now have Build 1586 (HCI 18.2) and Bluetooth 1.2... nice!

If someone has no mac operating system and is interested in the 
GenericCSR.dfu, I can email it.

My last questions (hopefully) regarding this topic now are:
- What is dangerous about updating the dongle?
the procedure itself? only the linux btdfu tool (secure with mac)?

- Widcomm delivers update-software too, will/should this work too with the 
GenericCSR.dfu?

- I now have to run hid2hci every time after I plug the dongle in (thanks 
for the info marcel). What is this exactly doing, why is it necessary?

- doing hid2hci I get:
Switching device 0a12:1000 to HCI mode failed (Invalid or incomplete 
multibyte or wide character)
but everything's fine after that. is this a problem? why the error?


Thanks for all your hints and help!

regards
Marco
