[Bluez-users] Device class in hcid.conf - Problems setting the correct description of the device.

[Bluez-users] Device class in hcid.conf - Problems setting the correct description of the device.

[Radek]

Hello Everybody,
	I've just decided to set a correct device class on my Linux box (a
notebook to be exact) and I've come to unexpected problem - there is no
description of class (in hcid.conf man page the description is not complete, to
say the least).
I've looked up google and it seams that the "Assigned Number" list became
confidential (the page to which the pdf specification redirects is member-only on
bluetooth.org)
	I've set the class for my Linux devices a while back (a year or two
back), but then the list was easily available. Still the operation wasn't fast -
the specs describe the class bit by bit... which a bit differs form the way
hcid.conf require it to be put.
	Did somebody found a easy way to set up the device class?

My best regards to you all!

you can use the D-Bus interface. Especially the SetMinorClass() method.

Thank you very much! :)
I'm starting to appreciate Bluez migration to dbus.

For those who are less eager to learn the dbus ;)

$ dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0
org.bluez.Adapter.SetMinorClass string:"laptop"

hciconfig hci0 class

and input the class into hcid.conf

Or stick with d-bus interface.

My best regards.
