Thanks for the advice, I got a DBT-120 and put the Apple firmware on it (yet another reason I'm glad we bought a Mac for my wife), and I can now get the RSSI from an inquiry! That is to say, I can see it in hcidump. I don't see the results in "hcitool inq", and from a quick look at the source code it looks like that information isn't returned from the kernel. Are there plans to provide this information via the kernel and libraries, or should I plan on hacking something up with hcidump? Thanks again! ----ScottG. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
