You should not mess with > packet types at all. It is the link managers' job to get this right. I am not messing with packet types at all. I apologise because I don't use Linux or the BlueZ tools in general but it seems that hcidump displays "Create Connection" packets (at least) incorrectly because of this. For instance hci_ptypetostr(HCI_DH1) will return "DH1 " which seems normal. But, when this is part of a HCI packet (eg Create Connection command), that result should actually be: "DH1 2-DH1 2-DH3 2-DH5 3-DH1 3-DH3 3-DH5 " Should it be handled in hcidump instead, as below? regards, iain --- parser/hci.c.orig 2009-01-10 15:51:51.000000000 +0000 +++ parser/hci.c 2009-01-10 15:51:53.000000000 +0000 @@ -718,6 +718,7 @@ addr, ptype, cp->role_switch, clkoffset & 0x7fff, clkoffset & 0x8000 ?
