I don't know for what this is needed. The current hcid stores the link keys now under /var/lib/bluetooth and it uses a subdirectory with the text representation of the BD_ADDR to differ between adapters. However even the previous hcid was able to store link keys for different dongles and you can also use profiling inside the hcid.conf. For example I use something like this to name all my development dongles. device 00:02:xx:xx:xx:xx { name "Casira BC4"; } device 00:0B:xx:xx:xx:xx { name "3Com USB dongle"; } > Your idea is great, would love to see it, and I would store all linkkeys > which device ever created, if it is possible to add them later on chip. > But I think this would not solve my problem with multiple dongles, as I > would still need to use profiles, as each dongle would still need it's own > list, right? There is no problem or I don't understand what you mean. However the space for stored link keys on the chip is limited. I think that max for CSR based chips is 20. > Do you have any other sollution to this, or what do you think of > inclusion of profiles for each device?

The Widcomm stack stores it somewhere in the Registry and actually I like to see a program that can read these keys from the Registry if the Windows root partition is mounted. Anyone?
