[Bug 908419] [NEW] Bluez does not work and hcitool info fails

[Sergio Callegari]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

I have great isssues with ubuntu oneiric, bluez, a DELL E6500 and a
nokia C2

hcitool scan works and can see the Nokia device.

however, any other attempt at initiating a bluetooth connection from the
DELL fails

for instance hcitool info <my device address> invariably fails with

Requesting information ...
Can't create connection: Input/output error

Similarly, the sdptool browse command fails

Failed to connect to SDP server on ... Host is down

The only way to have the thing working seems to be

0) Remove any association to the computer on the phone
1) Initiate a device browse from the phone
2) when the phone finds the computer, ask the phone to associate
3) Complete the association

After this, for some time, all the bluetooth commands succeed.

Bluetooth adapter on the laptop is
Bus 003 Device 005: ID 413c:8156 Dell Computer Corp. Wireless 370 Bluetooth Mini-card

On the phone I get from hcitool info

Device Name: Nokia C2-01
        LMP Version: 2.1 (0x4) LMP Subversion: 0x1673
        Manufacturer: Cambridge Silicon Radio (10)

This kind of erratic behavior (exactly regarding DELL laptops and nokia
phones) was previously reported in other bugs then marked as fixed.

** Affects: bluez (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed
