Subject: [Bluez-users] L2Ping and RSSI
Date: Fri, 23 May 2008 17:28:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4836F095.1070507@achilles.org> (raw)


Dear all,

I'm interested in what communication is possible with unpaired bluetooth 
devices.  I am aware that I can ping an unpaired device using L2ping and 
the hardware address of the device.  I'd like to know whether I can get 
any link information from a ping, such as RSSI?  All the HCI tools seem 
to require a 'proper' (authenticated, paired) connection.

And, if anyone has the time, I'd love to better understand the 
difference between an unpaired connection as established by l2ping (I'm 
going by the code) and a full bluetooth HCItool-compatible connection 
which I assume requires pairing.  The official standard is not what I'd 
describe as especially accessible..!

Thanks,
Rob.
