[Bug 284994] Re: bluetooth-wizard unable to pair to fixed pin devices

[DanielRoesler]

Okay, here is the thread with the response from a developer on the bluetooth-linux mailing list:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.kernel/721

>I didn't say it was a bad idea to allow users to enter a fixed PIN, I
>said it would be a bad idea to replace random PINs altogether with
>user-provided PINs.

With a legitimate concern

>That wouldn't work, a lot of devices will get out of pairing mode after
>an unsuccesful pairing.

And offers a good solution

>My solution would be to have a button at the bottom of the device
>selection page called "PIN options" (or similar).

The bug has been closed by the original submitter
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560315#c14) , so it would
probably be better to open a new bug.
