Re: [Bluez-users] accessing info on paired devices

[Pall Thayer <palli@pallit.lhi.is>]

But the link key is in binary form so I can't read it. What I've been 
doing is just sending a single l2ping to each of the discovered devices, 
the ones that are paired and authorized respond, the others time-out and 
are eventually ignored. The only problem is that I end up with a stack 
of PIN request pop-ups for the ones that aren't paired and authorized. 
Not a big deal but somewhat annoying. I tried playing around with the 
security settings in hcid.conf but nothing I did managed to avoid the 
PIN request pop-up.
