Dear Sir/Madam
In Inquiry result with RSSI mode, I am wondering why when using
Bluetooth (BT) dongle version 2.1 to inquire BT version 2.0, there is
only one inquiry response back? On the other hand, when using version
2.1 to inquire version 2.1 there are multiple response as it's
supposed to be.
According to the core specification, it should act the same way when
using 2.0 to inquire both 2.0 and 2.1 in which I always got multiple
inquiry responses from the same device.
If anyone could tell me what is going on or I miss-understood
something here, please kindly guide me. I use BlueZ and kernel
versions as following.
bluez-libs-3.36-1.fc9.i386
bluez-utils-3.36-3.fc9.i386
bluez-hcidump-1.41-1.fc9.i386
fedora 9, kernel version: 2.6.27.21-78.2.41.fc9.i686
Should I get more than one inquiry response from the same device??
Best regards,
TS.
Below is the script showing when using BT 2.1 to inquire 2.0; and 2.0
to inquire 2.0 & 2.1 respectively.
