Nope , this is not what I want .will setting the Inquiry Transmit power change my transmit power level? Well unable to change the inqtpl using the hcitool as it reverts back exactly like in the http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.kernel/4008.Thanks for the response though , it inspired me to do more research. I want to set the max transmit power level of my Bluetooth transmission which is currently set to 11dbm and the signal drops after the range of 10 m approx.Acccording to my understanding I should be able to raise the signal stength to 20dbm as per the Bluetooth chip datasheet and I should be able to get the bluetooth to work in the 100m range distance. Been through the hciconfig and hcitool very carefully but not a solution to this over there. bccmd is not the answer as this is for CSR chips only not mine which is broadcom 4329. rfkill is only to enable and disable to transmitter. Then looking through the code is the only solution . If anyone has a idea , Plz suggest.
