From: Francis Bernard To: linux-bluetooth@vger.kernel.org Cc: Francisco Bernardo Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Sender: linux-bluetooth-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Hello, i would like to know if is possible to get the rssi, linq quality or transmit power level values from remote devices that aren't connected. I know this may sound nonsense, but i'm looking for someway to get a proximity value of unknown devices ( that haven't paired or established a connection previously ) that only appear on the scan results. I tried out the hcitool, and inspite of discovering the exceptional tool it is, i haven't found what i need. I have checked "Host Controller Interface Functional Specification - 7.7.33 Inquiry Result with RSSI Event" on the latest Bluetooth Specification, and it made me think this could probably be possible, but i have no knowledge about your implementation and if this could be or is implemented. I saw some adapted code for hcitool.c, at http://pysportslive.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pyrssi/bluessid.c, and I was wondering if by making some adaptations at this level, i would achieve my needs.
