Hello everybody

I've a couple of questions regarding bluetooth v1.2:

- Does the bluetooth version only depend on the firmware or the hardware
too?
Following the page http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/csr.html I need
a HCI 18.x firmware to have bluetooth 1.2 support. That would mean it's
hardware independent.

- How to upgrade a csr chip? I've d-link DBT-120 revision4. Following the
page http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/features.html I need a
downgrade
to revision3 which supports bluetooth 1.2. why switched d-link back to
bluetooth 1.1 when they already had 1.2 on revision3?
I read the page http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/dfu.html and my
conclusion is, that there's no way to upgrade/downgrade the firmware.
(Because apple explains that after upgrading a device, it will no longer
work with non apple computers and the windows firmware upgrader is no longer
available.)
Is there another way to upgrade the firmware? I could do it with linux,
windows and mac, but the dongle should still work with linux afterwards...

- actually i'm interested in the inquiry with rssi.
marcel told in a recent email in the mailinglist that silicon dongles
might return wrong values (or don't support it). So, which dongles
do support that and are they already buyable? Currently there are only
bluetooth 1.1 dongles in the stores I know...
Is it still to early for bluetooth v1.2?

- what are the other benefits of bluetooth v1.2?

regards
Marco
