So, this confirms that it is indeed a BT1.1 device and hence does not
recognize the Remote Name Request Cancel command.

But actually, the sequence of HCI commands issued is correct. First, a
remote
name request is issued. Then, since an inquiry is required, the remote
name
request is cancelled. Thus, paging should stop and inquiry should be
possible.
I think this use case should work with BT1.2 devices and above.

But you are right, maybe some workaround should be present in order to
be
compatible with BT1.1 devices as well.
