Hi Anderson,

	First of all, sorry for my ignorance . Following are the steps i did in 
my test case.  i am also using dual mode dongles , so as you said  spec 
is not allowing us to do  this operation

In device A side:

1: Enable advertise using  hciconfig  hci0 leadv
2: run "l2test" tool in bluez  as a  server   ( slight modification has 
been made  in this code, like we are explicitly making cid as 0x04 )

  In Device B side:

1: Enable scanning  using  hcitool lescan
2: run "l2test -S <bdaddr A>"   as a  client   ( slight modification has 
been made  in this code, like we are explicitly making cid as 0x04)

      now the LE  connection is established  b/w A and B and data starts 
transferring

In this state i can not able to enable or disable advertise again , 
showing "command disallowed"

In Device C side

1; Enabled LE scanning , but device A is not detecting since it is 
connected to device B
2: ran  l2test -s <bdaddr A > as client  gives connection timed out


   Only essential log messages are given below
  DEVICE A

< HCI Command: LE Set Advertise Enable (0x08|0x000a) plen 1
     value 0x01 (advertising enabled)
 > HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 4
     LE Set Advertise Enable (0x08|0x000a) ncmd 1
 > HCI Event: LE Meta Event (0x3e) plen 19
     LE Connection Complete
       status 0x00 handle 43, role slave

data  receiving.......

DEVICE B
< HCI Command: LE Create Connection (0x08|0x000d) plen 25
     bdaddr 00:1B:DC:05:E0:5D type 0
 > HCI Event: Command Status (0x0f) plen 4
     LE Create Connection (0x08|0x000d) status 0x00 ncmd 1
 > HCI Event: LE Meta Event (0x3e) plen 19
     LE Connection Complete
       status 0x00 handle 64, role master

data sending.......

  Now if tries to enable or disable advertising  in Device A it shows 
error as follows

root@localhost ~]# hciconfig 0 leadv
LE set advertise enable on hci0 returned status 12

< HCI Command: LE Set Advertise Enable (0x08|0x000a) plen 1
     value 0x01 (advertising enabled)
 > HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 4
     LE Set Advertise Enable (0x08|0x000a) ncmd 1
     status 0x0c pktlen 0x0004 maxpkt 0x38
     Error: Command Disallowed



DEVICE C

< HCI Command: LE Create Connection (0x08|0x000d) plen 25
     bdaddr 00:1B:DC:05:E0:5D type 0
 > HCI Event: Command Status (0x0f) plen 4
     LE Create Connection (0x08|0x000d) status 0x00 ncmd 1

 > HCI Event: LE Meta Event (0x3e) plen 19
