Well, yes, I remember there was a device hci0, but it didn't work. I 
haven't tried any harder. Now (Kernel 2.6.5) it works just by pluggin it 
in as ist should. Nice, now I have 4 dongles but I need to assemble 
another pc from the parts lying around here...

I fond something much easier and better: "hciconfig hci0 pageto 
<slots>". When I use connect() in blocking mode and set the pageto to a 
small value, the connection attempt failure is reported in acceptable 
time. Since hcitool can do it programmatically, I can surely do it, too 
(by simply looking it up). I noticed that I have to increase the pageto 
up to 10000 or higher for the first paging. I suppose because the clock 
offset needs to be synchronized and afterwards it work even with a 
pageto of only 1 slot (but 500 slots = 312,5 ms is ok for me).
