http://git.infradead.org/users/cktakahasi/bluez.git/blobdiff/ece9ea1c2e50697ed9b57fb53ff681d20b317610..d8a359f5e90879468ec1291961f9f60c62a52ac2:/doc/adapter-api.txt
Same typo in both descriptions.

Is there any way to request that the adapter refresh the
hash/randomizer, or would that happen automatically when the data is
actually used?

Also, can the values be used independently of each other? In that case,
it might make sense to have them both concatenated inside a one and only
property.

Finally, as you say you've tested this, which hardware did you use for
testing? I know about the Nokia 6212 with NFC, but couldn't find a
suitable NFC reader to go with it.
