Please let me if this answers your question.
No, not quite. I'm looking for whatever corresponds to the IP address in a TCP connect(), or at a lower level the MAC. In case that it makes a difference, this is from a user space perspective, not inside the kernel. So for initiating an OBEX connection, how do I find the available devices and choose one of them? If I was contacted via obexd and Bluetooth, can I find that device again when it reconnects via USB, without establishing a connection and exchanging some data? -- Best Regards Patrick Ohly Senior Software Engineer Intel GmbH Open Source Technology Center Hermuelheimer Strasse 8a Phone: +49-2232-2090-30 50321 Bruehl Fax: +49-2232-2090-29 Germany _______________________________________________ SyncEvolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.syncevolution.org/listinfo/syncevolution
