Re: [Bluez-users] Several problems with bluez-utils 3.1, kbluetoothd and a Belkin dongle in Debian

[Alastair Tse <liquidx@gentoo.org>]

Hi,

I'm also experiencing the same behaviour as Felix with a Belkin dongle
(Broadcom) with bluez-libs-3.2, bluez-utils-3.2. This is where ISCAN is
not set even though it is enabled in hcid.conf. I've compiled from
source on a Gentoo Linux box.

One additional thing that I would like to add is that I see this in my
syslog:

Jul 28 00:10:15 qoo hcid[23009]: HCI dev 0 registered
Jul 28 00:10:15 qoo hcid[23009]: Device hci0 has been added
Jul 28 00:10:15 qoo hcid[23009]: Register path:/org/bluez/hci0
fallback:0
Jul 28 00:10:15 qoo hcid[23009]: HCI dev 0 up
Jul 28 00:10:15 qoo hcid[23009]: Starting security manager 0
Jul 28 00:10:16 qoo hcid[23009]: Can't write inquiry mode for hci0:
Connection timed out (110)

If I use Felix's workaround by enabling ISCAN using 'hciconfig hci0
piscan' after the device is up, that error message about inquiry mode
does not come up.

Here is my hciconfig -a before using the workaround 'hciconfig hci0
piscan':

liquidx@qoo /usr/portage $ hciconfig -a

Hope this helps with nailing down the problem.

Cheers,

Alastair
