If you know the controller that doesn’t support this, can we blacklist that one and just disable advertising (peripheral mode) for that controller. Regards Marcel

Can't the "LE Supported States" be inspected instead to figure out what simultaneous capabilities are supported? It seems a bit rough to always assume the worst. /Emil

It seems a bit rough to > always assume the worst. if there are not false-positives, then yes, by all means. However my statement still applies. If a controller can do scanning and advertising at the same time, we should just not indicate support for peripheral mode. Regards Marcel
