Dear All:
What is the preferred method to snoop the Bluetooth traffic?
E.g. my phone seems to pair with my computer fine, but then it
stops communicating, what now? I would like to debug the issue
myself from the bottom up.
Thanks,
-- Pete

just use hcidump -X -V. It will trace and decode the Bluetooth HCI
traffic for you.

Thanks a lot. As it turned out, my distribution (Fedora) packaged
it into a nondefault package (bluez-hcidump), so I missed it, sorry.
I thought we might've moved to a libpcap-based capture while I wasn't
looking, but fortunately not.

actually PCAP is not possible since we can't store packet direction in
PCAP format and that is needed for HCI traffic.
