Re: [Bluez-users] [REGRESSION] last working kernel 2.6.18

Hi Guennadi,
quoted
as mentioned multiple times in the past, the "hcitool cc" is not a
general purpose command. Nobody needs to create an ACL link. The kernel
does this for you in the background and you should let the kernel do its
job. It has to be the kernel since it has to track these connections and
the users of it. Unused ACL links will be disconnected. Period.

There are simply no excuses for creating low-level ACL links and there
is absolutely no need for it at all.
Thanks, Marcel. Just, what I thought:-) It would've saved us a few minutes 
of typing and a few electrons shifted around the world if this was 
documented somewhere:-) Would be great, if someone could, for example, 
document it in the wiki. I DID look there, and I didn't find anything. 
Which means, either it is not there, or not everybody is able to find it 
there within a reasonable amount of time:-)
the documentation in various online articles is wrong. For some reason
people think that "hciool cc" is a good idea. It has always been a debug
command for developers. Nothing more, nothing less. The mailing list is
full of responses from me about it.

However the wiki is for everybody. Feel free to update it.

Regards

Marcel
