Re: Getting/setting Inquiry trasmit power level unsolved

[Natale Vinto <ebballon@gmail.com>]

Hi Marcel,
I finally got the Belkin F8T016, linked from CSR website (
http://www.csr.com/applications/qual-mod.php?catID=14 ) as qualified
end product with CSR's BlueCore chip.
I read this spec:
Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR
Class 2

The output is always the same:

# hciconfig hci0
hci0:   Type: USB
        BD Address: 00:0A:3A:xx:xx:xx ACL MTU: 1021:8 SCO MTU: 64:1

# hciconfig hci0 commands | grep "Inquiry Transmit Power Level"

        'Write Inquiry Transmit Power Level'

(started hcidump here)

# hciconfig hci0 inqtpl

        BD Address: 00:0A:3A:xx:xx:xx ACL MTU: 1021:8 SCO MTU: 64:1
        Inquiry transmit power level: 0

> HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 4
    Write Inquiry Response Transmit Power Level (0x03|0x0059) ncmd 1
    status 0x00

but inquiry transmit level remains 0
# hciconfig hci0 inqtpl

        BD Address: 00:0A:3A:xx:xx:xx ACL MTU: 1021:8 SCO MTU: 64:1
        Inquiry transmit power level: 0

This try made on Ubuntu 9.10 2.6.31 (kernel.org) and 2.6.31-16-generic
(Ubuntu kernel)
# dpkg -l bluez
ii  bluez                   4.51-0ubuntu2           Bluetooth tools and daemons

So I wonder what is the problem...have I to flash in someway some firmware?

Best Regards
