As far as the device is concerned, PID 1 is the only one that supports normal Bluetooth operation. As it happens, PID 2 is used by Frontline Test Equipment for their Bluetooth sniffer, which wouldn't work unless you had the right firmware, so this is not useful. (This is a slightly different question to what Bluez does with a "funny" PID, but the answer to "does the device have clever handling for PID 2" is "no".) -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR PLC, Churchill House, Cambridge Business Park, Cowley Road Cambridge, CB4 0WZ, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 692070 To access the latest news from CSR copy this link into a web browser: http://www.csr.com/email_sig.php To get further information regarding CSR, please visit our Investor Relations page at http://ir.csr.com/csr/about/overview ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
