Hi marcel,
I am using l2cap sockets. On the receiving side, i want to find out the remote (sender's) bluetooth address. i do not have the dev_id or handle of the sender which has already established a connection. I want to get it in my c code, not using hcitool con or other means. I am trying getpeername, but it doesn't seem to work. Hope you can suggest something.

Thanx,
Regards,
Manjunath

the getpeername() is the right function and it works. If not, then your code is wrong.

Hi marcel,
yup, getpeername() works.....had done something silly.

Also, which would be the best Bluetooth PCMCIA card , the ones with linux drivers , for 2.6 kernels?

manjunath

I'm using a Zoom bluetooth adapter (Class 1, w/ 100m claimed range and pop-out antenna) with 2.6.8 and am very happy with it. (It's also inexpensive to buy online...)

Keep in mind that I only need it to do 6kbps to talk with my phone, so I've never tested it under a high-throughput situation, but I know of no reason it wouldn't work as well as any other bluetooth card...

the Conceptronic CBT100C is a class 1 card for < EUR 50,-.
I have used it with 2.4.20uc1 (uClinux) with success. With "regular" Linux (2.4.22), the socket driver needed a small patch because the card is encoded as a low voltage+3.3V card and wasn't powered up at all.

Erwin
