Hi Guys,

I've seen at least one other patch that flew by added to CVS already. Are there any other objections that just haven't been vocalized regarding this patch?

Bastien,

I spoke with some folks regarding documentation, and they are weighing
their options on the best route to do development on these devices.
(Releasing documentation, or doing patches themselves and submitting).

Speaking of which, has my patch been applied to the tree yet?

Bastien,

I don't believe the BlueZ/hci_usb setup can currently store the pairing in the adapter, but I'll investigate this week. Currently the infrastructure should allow a pairing that was set in Windows to still live inside the adapter and transition to Linux per my understanding.

I'll see what documentation I can obtain from our Bluetooth Team that would be available for public release. No promises there though :)

Right. Do you have any documentation on how to store that pairing
information inside the adapter, or does it work out of the box in Linux
already?

I've mainly got experience with Logitech dongles and Apple internal
adapters that do the same, but we're lacking documentation to make those
work properly.

Any documentation about the Dell kit would help.

Cheers

Hi Mario,

that was me being lazy or too busy. Whatever you wanna call it. Patch
has been committed to the CVS in a slight modified version.
