[Bluez-users] Override default inquiry mode?

[Bluez-users] Override default inquiry mode?

[Norbert Unterberg]

Hi,

I have got one of those tiny bluetooth USB adapters
(http://www.anycom.com/products/bluetooth_it_pc_accessoires/?id=102&group_id=3,
Broadcom chipset) and want to use it on my EEE PC. However, it does not work as
I hoped.

The adapter only works after setting the inquiry mode from RSSI/Extended to
standard mode using
hciconfig hcio reset
hciconfig hci0 inqmode 0

Is there any way to tell the bluetooth stack (i.e. in one of its config files)
to always use the standard mode for this adapter, or even for all adapters?

Norbert

I have remarkably little knowledge of Bluetooth, and I haven't had any 
experience with the EeePC, but I suspect that you could create a startup 
script that performs those "hciconfig" actions.

That only works if the USB bluetooth adapter is plugged in during system start. 
If I plug the adapter in after the system is running it uses the default 
(extended) mode. Or is there a hook script running every time an adapter is 
plugged in?

what is your problem with using a better inquiry mode? We haven't had
any problem with this in a long long time. Your application might be
broken actually if it can't deal with more advanced inquiry modes.

However hcid.conf should have a inqmode setting.

Regards

Marcel

The problem is notwith my application but with hciconfig and hcitool:

asus-931342168:/root> hciconfig -a
hci0:   Type: USB
         BD Address: 00:0A:3A:82:06:80 ACL MTU: 1021:8 SCO MTU: 64:1

Can't read local name on hci0: Input/output error (5)
asus-931342168:/root> hcitool scan

I guess it is a problem with the bluetooth adapter's firmware.

I'll try. Is there a hcid.conf reference? man hcid.conf does not show a 
inqmode setting.

you might have to load hci_usb driver with reset=1 module parameter.
