Hi Marcel, Attaching a patch which adds start_inquiry functionality to the hciops plugin. I have made the following changes : * use hci_send_cmd instead of hci_send_req. * move the cmd_status callback from dbus-hci.c to adapter.c and call it adapter_start_inquiry_cb(). * hardcode the callback instead of passing a function pointer. If you are OK with this framework, i can start working on the periodic inquiry functionality. Let me know what you think. Cheers, Alok.
