Hi Marcel, I finally got the Belkin F8T016, linked from CSR website ( http://www.csr.com/applications/qual-mod.php?catID=14 ) as qualified end product with CSR's BlueCore chip. I read this spec: Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR Class 2 The output is always the same: # hciconfig hci0 hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:0A:3A:xx:xx:xx ACL MTU: 1021:8 SCO MTU: 64:1 UP RUNNING PSCAN RX bytes:1129 acl:0 sco:0 events:42 errors:0 TX bytes:1616 acl:0 sco:0 commands:42 errors:0 # lsusb Bus 002 Device 006: ID 050d:016a Belkin Components # hciconfig hci0 commands | grep "Inquiry Transmit Power Level" 'Read Inquiry Transmit Power Level' 'Write Inquiry Transmit Power Level' (started hcidump here) # hciconfig hci0 inqtpl hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:0A:3A:xx:xx:xx ACL MTU: 1021:8 SCO MTU: 64:1 Inquiry transmit power level: 0 # hciconfig hci0 inqtpl 1 # hcidump -X -V HCI sniffer - Bluetooth packet analyzer ver 1.42 device: hci0 snap_len: 1028 filter: 0xffffffff < HCI Command: Read Inquiry Response Transmit Power Level (0x03|0x0058) plen 0 > HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 5 Read Inquiry Response Transmit Power Level (0x03|0x0058) ncmd 1 status 0x00 level 0 < HCI Command: Write Inquiry Response Transmit Power Level (0x03|0x0059) plen 1 level 1 > HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 4 Write Inquiry Response Transmit Power Level (0x03|0x0059) ncmd 1 status 0x00 but inquiry transmit level remains 0 # hciconfig hci0 inqtpl hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:0A:3A:xx:xx:xx ACL MTU: 1021:8 SCO MTU: 64:1 Inquiry transmit power level: 0 This try made on Ubuntu 9.10 2.6.31 (kernel.org) and 2.6.31-16-generic (Ubuntu kernel) # dpkg -l bluez ii bluez 4.51-0ubuntu2 Bluetooth tools and daemons So I wonder what is the problem...have I to flash in someway some firmware?
