Hello everybody.

Can one reset the Major Device Class to something other than 0x01 (Personal Computer)? I would like to masquerade as a Mobile Phone because I have a device that only connects to mobiles, and I would like for it to connect to a desktop PC.

I've tried editing the class option in the device section in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf, and upon restarting the bluetooth services, hciconfig -a still lists my device's class as if it's a PC.

Here's an excerpt from /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf:
...
device {
    # Local device name
    #   %d - device id
    #   %h - host name
    #name "%h-%d";
    name "Logger_3";

    # Local device class
    class 0x5a020c;
...
}

Here's the output from hciconfig -a:

hci0:   Type: USB
        BD Address: 00:80:5A:46:A1:E5 ACL MTU: 384:8 SCO MTU: 64:8

Is it likely that I've got something misconfigured, or does Bluez allow for the resetting of the Major Device class?

As a side question - might anybody have a link to the Bluetooth Assigned Numbers document? I can't find it on the Bluetooth SIG site (just broken links), nor does Google seem to turn up anything fruitful.

Anybody's help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
