As from sdptool man : sdptool - SDP tool v3.36 Usage: sdptool [options] [command parameters] Options: -h Display help -i Specify source interface using the option -i i can specify the source interface. But in fact i can only specify -i 0: even if i mounted four bluetooth dongles to the pc, when i specify -i 1, -i 2 and so on i've got the following output (where a mac address is in the place of XX...): Failed to connect to SDP server on XX:XX:XX:XX:XX: No route to host Another strange observation: if i specify hci1 in the -i option it works, but it works also with hci7, hci8 and so on... it seems to ignore the -i option if i write hciX (but it doesn't throw en error...) I tried to browse the web but i find nothing... Now my questions are: Is that "source interface" the hci channel? If yes: why it doesn't accept all the available hci channels, but only 0? If not: how can i specify the hci channel? Thanks in advance, greetings, Fabris.
