setting random address on a bluetooth low-energy adapter

Hi!

I'm trying to use PC (with usb dongle) as a bluetooth low-energy
device -- similar to heart rate sensor. But the device I'm trying to
emulate is using random address and its control software seems to
expect it.

Is there way to override the address / set the random address?

says patch might be needed...

Pointer to the patch would be welcome.

Thanks,
									Pavel
