[Bluez-users] how to program to use hci1 instead of hci0?

Hi all,

I have 2 USB dongles connected to my laptop running Redhat 9.0, and 'hcitool dev' shows correctly both devices with distinct user-friendly names.  It seems that whenever I run a program, it always utilises hci0.  How can I get control over that?  Basically I want to run a program each that uses different device, so I can simulate 2 Bluetooth devices communicating using the same laptop.

Thanks for any advice.

I think it is time to read the man pages. In most cases you have a -i or
-S option to specifiy the source interface.

	hcitool -i hci1 scan
