[Bug 551950] [NEW] gnome-bluetooth cannot use pin = 1234

[KeithG]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-bluetooth

I have a BT serial port with a pin of 1234. I cannot pair to this device
with gnome-bluetooth. Every attempt results in gnome-bluetooth requiring
a 6 digit random pin. I was able to pair when I uninstalled gnome-
bluetooth and installed bluez-gnome. Bluez-gnome will actually send a 4
digit 1234 pin and connect. I am in the process of setting up the serial
port in Ubuntu so that I can communicate with the device. My hope is
that this will be fixed in Lucid so that I will not have to go through
the text based setup of rfcomm for this device.

In addition, gnome-bluetooth is very reluctant to connect to the PANU
served by my phone. It was set up and after a number of tries I was able
to exchange PIN numbers and connect. Unfortunately, I was only able to
connect to the PANU once. With bluez-gnome, it works all the time every
time.

For what it is worth, the OBEX file connection to my Nokia has been very
robust under either manager.

My BT dongle reports as this one:
Bus 005 Device 007: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
