Package: bluez-utils
Version: 3.1-4
Severity: wishlist
Whilst trying to configure a BNEP network I found my friends USB dongle had a wierd hardware address of
11:11:11:11:11:11. Reading around it turns out this is what happens when the device has no onboard EEPROM
and you need to change the address with the 'bdaddr' util found in the 'test' directory in the bluez-utils
package. Unfortunately the Debian package does not ship this binary.
The Makefile in the 'test' directory does not work too well once made but if you could compile the dbaddr
tool with:
$ cc -g bdaddr.c -Wall -O2 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -o bdaddr -I ../common/ -lbluetooth -L ../common/ -lhelper
And then ship it in a newer release that would be great.
Cheers
Alex
