Re: [PATCH] Add HID->HCI switching support fornewer Dell BT cards

Bastien,

I'll be glad to update the coding style to match the rest of the source.  Please see the updated attachment.  Both of these adapters are just bluetooth cards that ship on the laptop, not the dongles that come with a keyboard or mouse.

This is the way the cards function in Windows, and the way that they were intended to function.  When paired with a HID keyboard and/or mouse, they have the ability to store that pairing in the firmware.  That's why they have the two modes.

In reading your question, do you have a problem with a particular mouse &/or keyboard combo that the dongle isn't working 'out of the box'?

Only problems I could see with the patch is the coding style (C++-style
comments, braces on different lines for a condition, alignment of
arguments to a function when on multiple lines).

The rest of the code looks fine to me.

Are those adapters usually shipped with keyboards and mice, so that they
would need to stay in HID mode on startup?

If they do, do you have any code available that would make sure this
keyboard and mouse are registered in BlueZ so they work "out of the
box"?
