Hi Marcel,

Periodic inquiry and adapter setup is extremely
necessary for me. Is it possible set a high priority
for these features?

Regarding the interfaces and objects path of the=20
bluetoothd my suggestion is:

>>>bluetoothd
DBus service :    org.bluez.hci
DBus interface:   org.bluez.hci
DBus object path: org/bluez/hci
    - setup link properties
    - setup inquiry mode
    - kill bluetoothd
    - show local adapters
    - ???
>>>SDP
DBus service :    org.bluez.sdp
DBus interface:   org.bluez.sdp
DBus object path: org/bluez/sdp
methods:
    - search
    - register/unregister
    - get local services
    - ???

>>>PAN
DBus service :    org.bluez.pan
DBus interface:   org.bluez.pan
DBus object path: org/bluez/pan
    - connect/disconnect
    - listen start/stop
    - connections


Open issues:
- How/Where handle multiple bluetooth adapters?
  solution1: the device id (hci0) can be part of object path
  eg: org.bluez.hci0.pan org.bluez.hci0.sdp
            =20
  solution2: pass the device id as parameter or define a method=20
             to set the active adapter.


I am not sure if it is better define a hierarchical objects or
register multiples objects. Dbus support two functions:
dbus_connection_register_object_path and=20
dbus_connection_register_fallback(for a given subsection of the=20
object hierarchy). But I think that it is not important now because
for both approachs the message handler functions are distinct.
I will investigate more which approach is the best.

Defining an hierarchical approach make easier define policy/rules
in the dbus configuration files.=20

Do you have a different design for it or suggestions?
There are a lot services that shall be inserted in the bluetoothd,
maybe should be better define multiple interfaces(adapter, link, ... )=20
for this daemon.


Regards,
Claudio.
