Interesting that someone finally noticed :)

This has been removed since the kernel is now days doing the automated
name request. The feature is present from 2.6.37 onwards. Since there's
no clean & simple way of detecting whether a recent enough kernel is
present and some controllers will get confused if bombarded with too
many requests this was simply removed from user space.

Seems like not too many people have missed this feature since the change
was done already end of last year. Typically BlueZ is the initiator of
the first connection to a device and so you get the name through the
device discovery process anyway.
