Hi again,

How does hcid know what mode that is "best" for my application? I want to
make sure that it is 1 (result with rssi), is there a way I can tell hcid to
always choose that mode then?

Also, I would like to have as few external dependencies, so if possible I
would prefer to not use d-bus. Is there a way to set the local name without
d-bus and without root privileges?
