Re: [Bluez-users] can't connect EPOX Keyboard BT-KB01B

I installed the hcidump program (and made/distributed a package for my 
distro).

When i press buttons on my keyboards hcidump reports nothing. There is nothing 
about a pin or security when i turn auth on and try to reestablish 
connections with the mouse. After auth is off the mouse works fine.

When trying to connect the keyboard i get a lot of:
< HCI Command: Role Discovery (0x02|0x0009) plen 2
    handle 41
> HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 7
    Role Discovery (0x02|0x0009) ncmd 1
    0000: 00 29 00 00                                       .)..
< HCI Command: Read RSSI (0x05|0x0005) plen 2
    handle 41
> HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 7
    Read RSSI (0x05|0x0005) ncmd 1
    status 0x00 handle 41 rssi 0
< HCI Command: Role Discovery (0x02|0x0009) plen 2
    handle 41

Does that mean anything?
