I have two original remotes from December 2008 and different one from December 2010 and their SDP records are identical: Service RecHandle: 0x0 Service Class ID List: "SDP Server" (0x1000) Protocol Descriptor List: "L2CAP" (0x0100) PSM: 1 "SDP" (0x0001) Language Base Attr List: code_ISO639: 0x656e encoding: 0x6a base_offset: 0x100 Profile Descriptor List: "" (0x0100) Version: 0x0100 Service Name: Nintendo RVL-CNT-01 Service Description: Nintendo RVL-CNT-01 Service Provider: Nintendo Service RecHandle: 0x10000 Service Class ID List: "Human Interface Device" (0x1124) Protocol Descriptor List: "L2CAP" (0x0100) PSM: 17 "HIDP" (0x0011) Language Base Attr List: code_ISO639: 0x656e encoding: 0x6a base_offset: 0x100 Profile Descriptor List: "Human Interface Device" (0x1124) Version: 0x0100 Service RecHandle: 0x10001 Service Class ID List: "PnP Information" (0x1200) Protocol Descriptor List: "L2CAP" (0x0100) PSM: 1 "SDP" (0x0001) Profile Descriptor List: "PnP Information" (0x1200) Version: 0x0100 > I couldn't figure out when autoreconnection is established, reliably.

This is for devices such as mice and joypads where there is no encryption I don't understand the details but this means that CreateDevice is used instead of CreatePairedDevice -- Daniele Forsi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
