[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#400016: bluez-utils: connection failed because hci Device disconnects and reconnects when try to pair a phone

[Sandro Frenzel]

Package: bluez-utils
Severity: important



Hello,

I try to pair my mobile phone with a USB bluetooth dongle.

I start the passkey-agent this way:

passkey-agent --default /usr/bin/pin

The pin file looks like that:

skummy:/home/sandro# cat /usr/bin/pin
#!/bin/bash
echo -n "PIN:0000"


When a tool (for example kmobiletools) wants to make a pairing with my phone, I have to enter the pin
on my phone.

I enter the pin and after a while the hci0 device goes down and gets up again. 

The logfiles show it:

Because of this reconnect the pairing failed. 


I have applied the patch from http://www.kmobiletools.org/node/228 but it did not help.


So, what is wrong? I think something shut down the hci0 device, but why?
 



Thank you!

Bye,
Sandro
