Doesn't "inquiry" imply activity? I'd like the computer to listen passively... I assume, if a phone nearby is communicating with something (like headphones), other Bluetooth devices hear it - even if they typically ignore it. Is that a valid assumption? Can a Bluetooth dongle be placed into some sort of "promiscuous" mode instead? -- Sent from mobile device, please, pardon shorthand. 8 лип. 2017 р. о 22:58 Maksim Yevmenkin <maksim.yevmenkin@gmail.com> написав(ла): > Hi Mikhail, > >> I'd like my FreeBSD computer to detect the presence of other >> Bluetooth-devices nearby. > > you probably look for inquiry command. i.e. hcidump inquiry. please be > aware that remote device may not answer inquiry, i.e. "not > discoverable". apart from inquiry, there is not a whole lot you can do > with standard hci interface > > thanks! > max
