Re: [Bluez-devel] l2ping seems to ignore -t timeout option

Hi,

I'm not a 100% sure of the answer however i would say it is because 
there are 2 timeouts:
   - One is hardware based, and is globally configured at the device 
level. It is the timeout for the paging procedure.
   - the other is how much to wait for an L2CAP echo after you sent and 
L2CAP reply.

Basically, the first timeout will be used when establishing a baseband 
connection with a device, while the other will be used by l2ping ONCE 
and only ONCE the baseband connection is up (which also means device is up).

I hope it helps :-)

Cheers,

Fabien
