I'm using a Ubuntu Feisty, which is only a few weeks old; bluez-utils appears
to be the critical package, containing hcid (that seems to do the work) and
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf (that declares the Bluetooth service). I
can't find any documentation describing how to set all this up, though...

You seem not to have much experience with embedded systems.

On my system, there are two instances of dbus-daemon occupying 432 pages and
304 pages respectively, an instance of dbus-launch with 244, and an instance
of hcid with 348. There are also two *more* instances of dbus-daemon, but they
may be specific to the user and so irrelevant. Even so, that's still a total
of 1328 pages, or 5312kB.

That's just not *reasonable* on a system with low memory, especially since
Bluetooth will be the only thing that uses it.

Since all this code is going to have to go through the kernel interface anyway
to get anything done, it's far more appropriate to use that instead.
Particularly since there's a helpful library, hcilib, that wraps the kernel
interface and makes it easy to use. (And which, BTW, is recommended by all the
tutorial code I've been able to find.)

I was hoping that someone would be able to point me at the document that
specifies what this interface actually *is*.
