[Bluez-users] get remote bt address

[Manjunath Prabhu]

Hi marcel,
I am using l2cap sockets. On the receiving side, i want to find out
the remote (sender's) bluetooth address. i do not have the dev_id or
handle of the sender which has already established a connection. I
want to get it in my c code, not using hcitool con or other means.
I am trying getpeername, but it doesn't seem to work. Hope you can
suggest something.

Thanx,
Regards,
Manjunath

the getpeername() is the right function and it works. If not, then your
code is wrong.

Hi marcel,
yup, getpeername() works.....had done something silly.
i have 2 questions about BT products, 
the csr press release says BT-EDR chips are in market......have BT
dongles with EDR come into the market???
Also, which would be the best Bluetooth PCMCIA card , the ones with
linux drivers , for 2.6 kernels?

thanx once again,
regards,
manjunath

I'm using a Zoom bluetooth adapter (Class 1, w/ 100m claimed range and pop-out 
antenna) with 2.6.8 and am very happy with it. (It's also inexpensive to buy 
online...)

Keep in mind that I only need it to do 6kbps to talk with my phone, so I've 
never tested it under a high-throughput situation, but I know of no reason it 
wouldn't work as well as any other bluetooth card...

the Conceptronic CBT100C is a class 1 card for < EUR 50,-.
I have used it with 2.4.20uc1 (uClinux) with success. With "regular"
Linux (2.4.22), the socket driver needed a small patch because the card
is encoded as a low voltage+3.3V card and wasn't powered up at all.

Erwin
