Hi,
I would like to change the default name of bluetooth interfaces (hci0, hci1, ...)
using udev rules.
While with wlan usb dongles it works with the line:
KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="foo0"
the analogous for the bt:
KERNEL=="hci*", NAME="foo0"
doesn't work, while
KERNEL=="hci*", RUN+="/usr/bin/touch /tmp/foo"
works.
I'm using kernel 2.6.30.1, udev 125 and bluez 4.46.
Regards,
Andrej

and actually bluetoothd is doing that for you no matter what the device
name is. You just have to set the name once using the D-Bus interface.

I have more than one bt dongle connected to the box and I would like to assign always
the same bluetooth name (the one set with hciconfig hciX name ...), ex:
the one with BD_ADDR=xx:yy:zz:00:00:01 -> foo
the one with BD_ADDR=xx:yy:zz:00:00:02 -> bar
...
If one could use the udev persistent rules like with ethernet interfaces:
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="hci*", ATTR{address}=="xx:yy:zz:00:00:01", NAME="hci0"
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="hci*", ATTR{address}=="xx:yy:zz:00:00:02", NAME="hci1"
...
and then set the appropriate bluetooth name:
hciconfig hci0 name foo
hciconfig hci1 name bar
...
Currently I am using a script to do that.
Regards,
Andrej

Could I ask why you want to do that?

we don't support renaming HCI devices. However feel free to send a
kernel patch to enable it.
