[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#528961: bluez-utils: Cannot connect to bluetooth keyboard

[Shaun Jackman]

Package: bluez-utils
Version: 3.36-3
Severity: important

I cannot connect to an Apple bluetooth keyboard using hidd:

$ sudo hidd --search
Searching ...
        Connecting to device 00:1F:5B:FC:77:F9
Can't create HID control channel: Connection timed out
$ sudo hidd --connect 00:1F:5B:FC:77:F9
Can't create HID control channel: Connection timed out

I can ping the device using l2ping.

Cheers,
Shaun
