Curiosity on device discovery

Hi All,

FreeBSD 6.0 / Linksys USB (Broadcom)  / BT enabled phone and headset

I've followed the handbook guidelines in using bluetooth and everything
works fine.  I can discover nearby devices with my USB bluetooth device.

I can also use hccontrol to make connections to my bluetooth headset
When I use hccontrol I can see the data exchanges by running hcidump
in another window.

However, when I use the phone to discover nearby devices I don't
see any indication of activity at all on the USB device. The phone
does discover the device and it shows up with my hostname.

Why doesn't hcidump display that activity?  Is it being handled
at the device driver level, below the HCI layer?

So, I'd like to see that activity too.  What can I use to see that activity?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Jim B.
