Nice, I'll contact him about his progress. In the meanwhile I have made good progress on libhci. I have some questions, though: 1. Is there a way to retrieve all hci node names? I know the way that ngctl(8) uses, but that way requires root access. Is there another way to retrieve all nodes with type "hci" which works with user level privileges? 2. I have some Belkin BT dongles and they return the same devices on inquiry multiple times. While this is allowed by the spec (Vol 2, Chapter 7.1.1 of the BT 1.2 spec) the spec states the following: "It is recommended that the Controller tries to report a particular device only once during an inquiry or inquiry period.". Should the removal of duplicates happen in libhci, later on by the user or on a lower level?
