Hi Marcel,

Ok, the opcode is encoded in two fields:
OGF Range (6 bits): 0x00-0x3F
OCF Range (10 bits): 0x0000-0x03FF

and hcidump writes these two fields (0x01|0x0001) for the inquiry 
command, which in binary form it is

	0000 0100 0000 0001

and corresponds to 0x0401, which is shown as 01 04 by hcidump...

all rigth, I was thinking of 0x01 as 8 bits instead of 6.

thanks Marcel!

Regards

Luis Peiro
