Thanks for the advice, I got a DBT-120 and put the Apple firmware on
it (yet another reason I'm glad we bought a Mac for my wife), and I
can now get the RSSI from an inquiry!
That is to say, I can see it in hcidump. I don't see the results in
"hcitool inq", and from a quick look at the source code it looks like
that information isn't returned from the kernel. Are there plans to
provide this information via the kernel and libraries, or should I
plan on hacking something up with hcidump?
Thanks again!
