However, I'm having problems with the stability of the dongle. My init scripts load the firmware using hotplug/bluefw, then load the required kernel modules, then bring hci0 up using hciconfig, then start hcid and sdpd. In this state I can see my phone on a hcitool scan, connect to it using rfcomm, pair with it, etc. I've had little joy with multisync, but that's a matter for another mailing list. After some fiddling with hcitool, sdptool and multisync, any sdp related function ceases to work. Running "sdptool browse" returns "Failed to connect to SDP server on 00:0A:D9:3F:21:27: Connection timed out", and l2ping loses 100% of packets. I've tried to recover from this state by using "hciconfig down" then "hciconfig up" or even "hciconfig reset". However, if I bring hciconfig down (either with down or reset), I subsequently can't bring it up, getting the following message: "Can't init device hci0. Connection timed out(110)". I've tried bringing hci0 down, killing all BT related processes, unloading all relevant modules and then starting over, but it still times out. Nothing but a reboot seems to fix it. Any suggestions? All other USB devices on my system (keyboard, mouse, Zip drive) work fine, so I don't think the USB subsystem is suspect. The same dongle worked wonderfully in Windows 2000, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I can post copious configuration details if required.
