[Bug 306721] Re: Bluetooth is completely broken on Ubuntu 8.10

[Robie Basak]

Could this be set to Importance: High please? Rationale: bluetooth is
unusable in Intrepid.

I have the same problem. hcitool scan can always see my devices when
bluetoothd is not running. When bluetoothd is running, then sometimes
hcitool scan fails; stopping bluetoothd and hciconfig down then
hciconfig up fixes it and the scan works again.

The GNOME applet is unable to find any devices. I can't seem to work the
dbus interface directly since at least some of the dbus api seems to
have changed (see below). However, having looked at the source I think
that audio/manager.c:manager_find_device fails to find anything even if
given an address.

I think the following are the same issue: bug #283777, bug #285412.

Also, when bluetoothd starts the kernel logs the following:
    pan0: Dropping NETIF_F_UFO since no NETIF_F_HW_CSUM feature.


>>> import dbus
>>> bus = dbus.SystemBus()
>>> manager = dbus.Interface(bus.get_object('org.bluez', '/org/bluez'), 'org.bluez.Manager')
>>> bus_id = manager.ActivateService('audio')
