Hm, so i got this wrong. But if i connect two different devices with rfcomm,
"hcitool con" gives me two lines that look like
"< ACL 00:0A:D9:37:11:29 handle 41 state 1 lm MASTER". Thats what i meant
talking about "master connections". If i start another rfcomm connect (the
third one)i get "Device or resource busy" and i assumed thats because the
chip i use (CSR, hci rev 16.4) can only handle two master connections. I
found this info, that a 16.x CSR can make 7 Connections, while 2 of them can
be Master on some web page that i remember to be on your server,
unfortunatelly i cant find it anymore.
Im just wondering what a line ending with MASTER from hcitool con actualy
means. IMHO it should mean that this is a peer is a slave in a piconet with
me as the master. But why does rfcomm than say that "Device or resource
busy" when i try to connect a third slave witch should be possible?
Greetings
Andy

I cant reproduce the problem at the moment, i?ll come back to you if I have
useable information.

what is the correct errno that would be returned? Run hcidump as I told
you.

you where right, there is no problem with connecting more than two with
rfcomm. I just saw "device or resource busy" from rfcomm often in my logs so
i assumed it would be that reason but it wasnt. Now i have to find out what
was the reason for this. Any what would be the most obvious reasons for
this, if any?

if you got something like this
# hcitool con
Connections:
< ACL 00:04:61:xx:xx:xx handle 45 state 1 lm MASTER
< ACL 00:0A:D9:xx:xx:xx handle 42 state 1 lm MASTER
it means that you have a piconet with two slave devices and you as
master.
I don't see any reason why you can't connect a third device into this
piconet. Run "hcidump -w <file>" for the third connection, so we can see
what happens on the HCI layer.

Marcel
