Your hardware support > list shows all 1.1, however, do you know which dongles can support 1.2? in general every CSR BlueCore02 based dongle with 8-Mbit flash can be updated to Bluetooth 1.2 support with HCI 18.x firmware. This has to be done by the module/dongle manufacturers. Another Bluetooth 1.2 solution is the Zeevo ZV4002, but there is no dongle available right now. I am using the Matsushita Bluetooth Module which is based on that chip. The third is Silicon Wave based and I expect that Anycom will sell their dongles with Bluetooth 1.2 support very soon. The new BlueFRITZ! USB 2.0 is also SiW based and the prototype that I use already supports Inquiry with RSSI. > Also just FYI, the phones we're connecting to at the moment are Nokia 3650s. Run a "hcitool info " against your 3650 and see what features it supports. Hopefully it has role switch support. > The D-link that I do most of the testing on shows: > > hci0: Type: USB > BD Address: 00:0F:3D:0B:FB:45 ACL MTU: 192:8 SCO MTU: 64:8 > UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN > RX bytes:3686 acl:0 sco:0 events:273 errors:0 > TX bytes:2832 acl:0 sco:0 commands:205 errors:0 > Features: 0xff 0xff 0x0f 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 > Packet type: DM1 DM3 DM5 DH1 DH3 DH5 HV1 HV2 HV3 > Link policy: > Link mode: MASTER > Name: 'Embt' > Class: 0x000000 > Service Classes: Unspecified > Device Class: Miscellaneous, > HCI Ver: 1.1 (0x1) HCI Rev: 0x20d LMP Ver: 1.1 (0x1) LMP Subver: > 0x20d > Manufacturer: Cambridge Silicon Radio (10) You can also try "hciconfig hci0 revision" and you see some manufacturer specific information.
