if I ask for lsusb then I don't expect lsusb -v, because otherwise I had
asked for it ;)

You should re-read the HCI part of the Bluetooth specification, because
the OGF and OCF values are packed in a specific format. If the latest
version of hcidump shows unknown then you should think about an error on
your side, because I already added full Bluetooth 1.2 support.

Try "hciconfig hci0 inqmode [mode]" to read to write the inquiry mode.

If you only care about the inquiry with RSSI support then you can buy
the AVM BlueFRITZ! USB v2.0. Even if this dongle claims not to support
it, it does. Anycom also has a Bluetooth 1.2 dongle and of course you
can update the D-Link DBT-120 Rev. B3 with the Apple firmware.
