Re: [Bluez-devel] Creating more than one instance of BlueZ

[Brad Midgley <bmidgley@xmission.com>]

Mayank,

if you run "hciconfig" with two adapters connected, you see both hci0 
and hci1. you also see their bdaddrs.

iirc, when you create a bt socket we usually set "any" as the source 
(remember setting local_addr with bacpy(&local_addr, BDADDR_ANY) in 
a2recv.c). you can use a specific adapter and that is what you have to 
do when you have two adapters and you want to go out on a specific one.

when you connect to a service, obviously you can specify the bdaddress 
to connect to.

most of the core bluez code will allow you to set the src address using 
command-line arguments (a good example is -i <hciX|bdaddr> in hidd) but 
we've been lazy in the btsco code about that.
