all Bluetooth 1.1 devices can only report the RSSI value for already
connected devices and even this doesn't return a good value all the
time. Some old dongles are rather buggy in this area.

However if you look for the RSSI value returned from the inquiry results
you need at least a Bluetooth 1.2 dongle that support "Inquiry with
RSSI".

Marcel
