Hi Paul, Sorry for such a late answer.
Currently, an user mode application or a DBUS application doesn't have access to BlueZ daemons/applications. There is not library to allow control connections. Before I try including bluetooth DBUS service, I am trying enhance BlueZ, adding a library to control the bluetooth connections including dynamic configuration of IP. This proposal will be based on IETF draft: Dynamic Configuration of IPv4 Link-Local Address. http://files.zeroconf.org/draft-ietf-zeroconf-ipv4-linklocal.txt If my proposal is interesting for this community I will appreciate contribute.
